Introducing Jennifer Fisk, your BANK VI Hero of the Week!

Jennifer was nominated for the large amount of time she donates to volunteering around the community.

Jennifer is a secretary and voluteer for the Heartland Programs Policy Council, which is part of the Heartland Headstart Preschool.

She has volunteered for the Upward Bound program at Kansas State University’s Polytechnic Campus in Salina. Upward Bound is a program designed to assist area high school students with additional academic preparation, advisement, and encouragement to succeed in high school and later in college. She also helped with the construction of Upward Bound’s float for the recent “Parade of Lights” in downtown Salina.

Jennifer also volunteers at the Rolling Hills Zoo with story time and other activities, the Salina Area United Way’s SalinaStrong campaign, Martin Luther King, Jr. Preschool and Daycare, St. John’s Missionary Church’s WOW Youth Outreach program, and the annual Back To School Fair.

She even assists with a program at Kohl’s, where she is employed, called “Kohl’s Cares for Kids”, which supports the health and education of children.

The volunteer work she does is what she enjoys doing more than anything. “I make time for it, because I absolutely love it,” she said.
