On Saturday February 20, several SECO Energy employees and area high school students volunteered for the United Way Day of Caring project for Marion County at Children’s Home Society in downtown Ocala. The volunteers were led by Kathy Judkins, SECO’s Deputy Director of Civic, Charitable & Government Affairs and Madison Mahoney, Youth United Way Community Service Co-Chair.

 

Children’s Home Society assists thousands of Florida children and families each year. The organization offers adoption assistance, aids and recruits foster parents and provides counseling services to kids, teens and families in need.

The SECO employee volunteers include Tanya Mikeals, Vincent Thomas, Tracey Johnston, Roslyn Smith, Janica Beard, and Audra Guydeen.

 

Judkins’ has a very strong personal belief in giving back to the community and she is honored to work for a company that encourages employees to volunteer in the community. “I am so grateful that SECO not only encourages altruism among employees, but also facilitates opportunities to volunteer. My co-workers and I are thankful that we were able to help an organization like Children’s Home Society that does vital work for thousands of people throughout Florida,” said Judkins.
