"I grew up in this community, I've lived here all my life," said Holsky. "Just being around and seeing what they do day to day in the community, a lot of it happens behind the scenes. I don't think a lot of people really know what they and the agencies do. Over the years agencies have changed somewhat, but it's all the same. We're helping the community. It can be in helping youth, it can be in helping as a safety net. Income, education and healthcare are our pillars."
