Celebrating our Community Stars

Last week, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs honored RCI Volunteers Sue Karpovich and Jody Smith as 2024 United Federal Credit Union Community Stars!

We are forever grateful to Sue and Jody for their dedication as volunteers to RCI. These two extraordinary human beings have been volunteering at our Community Building Center every week for over six years. They have served countless meals. They have hung wallpaper and assembled furniture. They made sure our community members never had to go without, even at the height of the COVID pandemic. They loaned us their grill for a community event and didn’t get mad when we somehow caught the whole thing on fire. But most importantly, they have loved and cared for our community, and they have done it with joy and gusto. Our staff and community members are lucky to call them our friends, and humbled to know that the feeling is mutual. Thank you, Sue and Jody, from all of us at Ripple Community Inc.!
