What #proudlydekalbmeans to me:

I have been a DeKalb resident for nearly 30 years. I have worked on staff at NIU. I met and married my husband of nearly 20 years here. I watched my son thrive in the DeKalb school system. I met ‘friends for life’ friends, and am lucky to live in an awesome neighborhood. I have worked in the nonprofit realm for over 20 years at United Way, and see daily the impressive commitment local agencies have to serving others and lifting them up when they need support and services. I am proud to be a contributor to this work. I am proud of our community connectedness, and of the ways that we help neighbors and friends in need.

I am #proudlydekalb    ~ Dawn Littlefield
