Kim’s nominator said she could light the way through Eli Peaks cave with her radiance. For approximately 10 years, Kim has volunteered her own resources and time every other week to purchase, prepare, and serve 80 plus underprivileged African American youths at the Washington Youth center in Duluth. Kim works at an accounting firm plus finds time to give with no strings attached and probably very little thanks. When Kim saw a department store was having a close out sale on all sizes winter jackets, she bought more than 30 jackets to drop off for kids at the center. Selfishly treat yourself to five minutes with Kim you will surely leave with a better understanding of her glow, how kindness makes a difference, and you will probably gain a new friend or at least leave with a warm hug.
