In this episode of Common Unity, hosts Tony Marmo and Reverend Don Mapes Jr. are joined by Steven Markert, Business Manager for the United Way of Ulster County and the show’s engineer. Together, they take a thoughtful look at the current needs facing local nonprofits and the growing challenges many residents are experiencing across the county.
Steven shares insights from the front lines of community work, highlighting how essential it is for businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits to collaborate in order to maximize resources and create meaningful, lasting impact. The conversation also turns toward the holiday season—why this time of year reminds us to be mindful, grateful, and generous, and how small acts of giving can make a profound difference for neighbors in need.
