Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser | JUDY CORZINE

Judy grew up in a small rural town in Iowa. Due to her father’s health, she and her family received support from their local community. Later, her mother spent many years volunteering at the local food pantry, providing food, clothing and other assistance to community members in need. The connections her mother made during that time, and the joy she felt from helping others, inspired Judy to carry on the legacy of giving back.

What do you love most about the Topeka community?

There is an intentional focus on making Topeka a better place for all members of the community. There is an understanding here that we must invest in the future to make Topeka a better place to live.

How do you mentor volunteers?

I have always been one who tried to lead by example. Sharing information on the activities I am involved in is one of the main approaches I take related to mentoring. I try to show that giving back isn’t a burden, but provides joy in seeing the impact on others.
