EDITOR'S NOTE: This story, and photo, from WDTV is about a Bridgeport High Student receiving the Jefferson Award for Community Service from WDTV and Antero Resources. 

 

Hannah Povroznik is a staple in the Harrison County community, as she is a compassionate, genuine and driven young woman who constantly strives to do more to serve those around her.

 

Hannah is a senior at Bridgeport High School, and she became immersed in volunteerism at a young age through her church, the Clarksburg Mission and helping children through the backpack program in her local community.

 

"I believe everyone has a duty to serve their community, and I also believe that everyone has the impact to make a change, no matter how big or how small it might be" says Hannah of her time volunteering.

 

She has also been an active member of the Key Club throughout her high school career, but in 2017 she wanted to do more and decided to dedicate her time to the "Boxing It Up to Give Thanks" program.

 

Hannah says of the program, "essentially it's a campaign that packages Thanksgiving meals for local food pantries, and delivers them throughout North Central West Virginia, and what grew as this small project in Bridgeport High school in Harrison County three years ago, has grown, and the growth has been immense."
