Linda Mayger, of Saucon Valley, is a 2022 recipient of the President’s Volunteer Service Award for her efforts as a ShelterBox Ambassador. ShelterBox is an organization that supplies emergency shelter and household items to people who have been forced from their homes by a disaster or war. 
 
“One of the things about ShelterBox is that it’s very tangible about what you’re giving toward. $1,000 gives a box and a tent. $150 gives a toolkit that can help people repair their homes.”
 
Thank you to NPR WLVR News for highlighting the accomplishments of Linda Mayger, superstar Ambassador and, most recently, President’s Volunteer Service Award honoree!

Click on ShelterBox for the video and more information on ShelterBox!  Mayger said her district, which includes the Lehigh Valley, was the No. 1 giving district in the entire country for Shelterbox.
 
Please reach out to Ambassador Linda and express our thanks for an incredibly successful example of Service Above Self globally!!!
