We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding service Ms. Regina E. Williams has brought to our agency during this challenging time. As a consultant, Ms. Williams demonstrated unwavering dedication, working tirelessly on our Hurricane Helene response. Her calm and steady leadership was instrumental in streamlining our processes and reaching essential partners in hard-to-access areas. Together, we successfully distributed 1,000 units of water to vulnerable communities. We salute you, Ms. Williams!

I am appreciative of Wach Fox 57 for this acknowledgment. It’s all about Jesus! I don’t care who knows it either. Shedding light on the disparities of others who are suffering is so important because many have said we ought to just be grateful for the little we have. That isn’t right! The lord charged us to remember the least of them among us! To love and care for one another so we do not lack! Take time and DO SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE ELSE! YOU WILL FEEL BETTER! ❤️‍🩹
special shoutout to Revolution Red and LeShaye Turman and councilwoman Gretchen Barron

At WACH FOX, we recognize people who are changing things for the better in our neighborhoods
