GBU Life’s members are connected through their commitment to their local communities. GBU has several programs which support members across the country with their volunteering and fundraising efforts. The Making a Difference: One Hour at a Time program donates $15 to an organization for each hour a member volunteers there. GBU’s Give Back Groups program matches members’ fundraising efforts and offers reimbursement for dollars spent by members to assist with community projects.

“It is members like Tim that really further the mission of GBU," said GBU National Vice President Matt Blistan. “His commitment to his community through something he is passionate about is what we look for in our Volunteer of the Year.”

As a thank you for Tim’s efforts, GBU presented the Washington Area Humane Society with a $1,000 check on July 28.
