My name is Glen and I got involved with Helping Hands back in 2007. Volunteering for our group means a lot to me. It makes me feel good knowing that we are helping families and helping support the community. When I am not volunteering, I spend my time running a small business and enjoying everything that Western Montana has to offer!
