Those whose mission is making the Ohio Valley a better place were honored Thursday morning by the United Way of the Upper Ohio Valley at its annual Building a Better Community Breakfast. The breakfast celebrates individuals and organizations that go the extra mile in helping their neighbors however they can.

She co-chairs the Upper Ohio Valley Walk to End Alzheimer’s, serves on the United Way of Jefferson County Board of Directors, and is president of the board of directors for the St. Clairsville Chamber of Commerce.
