Nancy Woolf

Board Member At-Large

I was an avid supporter of United Way and its various organizations throughout my adult life in Indianapolis.  I particularly enjoyed volunteering with Second Helpings, Mary Riggs Neighborhood and ReadUp.  Upon retirement at the end of 2017, much to the chagrin of my one daughter, I moved to Naples, Florida and became a full time resident.  I have been thrilled to find such a welcoming community and have thus far engaged with a number of local organizations including Naples YMCA, St. Matthew’s House, Harry Chapin, Ladies of Charity and The Naples Players.  I hope to spend the next 30 years building a second yet equally fulfilling career dedicated to community service!
