Shannon Reed: Encouraging Community Service at Family Gateway
When Shannon Reed began volunteering in the after-school program at Family Gateway over five years ago, he realized what an impact he could make in the lives of the children by tutoring one afternoon a week. Shannon, an AT&T employee, encouraged several of his coworkers to join him in his efforts to get AT&T engaged, and recruited a dozen more volunteers help in Family Gateway’s after-school program every Monday and Tuesday. In addition to volunteering in the after-school program, Shannon organizes donation drives at AT&T and serves as the Family Gateway Liaison for AT&T’s Believe Dallas Initiative, which further launches the awareness of Family Gateway and its mission.
