You don’t have to look far to see the ways Scoular employees help their communities through volunteerism. It could be at a ballpark in western Nebraska or at a wildlife rehab center in Kanas City. Scoular’s modern-day founder, the late Marshall Faith, left a legacy of making a difference in our towns and cities, and our employees live that value today.
Meet four employees helping their communities.
Alyssa Ehler is a senior finance analyst at our Omaha headquarters who has a heart for helping others.
She synced her skills with her desire to give back through her volunteer work as treasurer for Heal Omaha, a nonprofit that provides medical care and medical case management to people experiencing homelessness in Omaha.
“I can’t help every single person every single day, but I can use my professional skills and my time to help an organization that is equipped to help them,” Alyssa says.
She reached out to the organization, and her finance background allowed her to help the group get the most out of their budget.
Her involvement began after moving last year into a neighborhood near downtown Omaha, where she regularly saw HEAL volunteers in their matching T-shirts working with her unsheltered neighbors.
“I have come to recognize and know my unsheltered neighbors,” she says. “Volunteering at HEAL and other organizations has helped me build connections across my community.”
Brad Bankson knows firsthand the benefits of youth sports.
His two daughters participate in youth sports, and he has seen how it builds not just athletic skills, but confidence.
He volunteers with the Sutherland (Nebraska) Youth Board, which supports sports programs for children up to 12 years old. The organization hosts tournaments, provides uniforms, equipment, coaching resources, and covers league and tournament fees for volleyball, basketball, soccer and baseball.
“One of my favorite parts of volunteering is watching kids develop their skills and confidence throughout the season,” says Brad, operations manager for grain facilities in western Nebraska. “It is especially rewarding to see children who may not have strong athletic ability at first become successful because a coach or volunteer took the time to work with them.”
Volunteering has also reinforced his priorities.
While he values his work at Scoular, serving on the youth board is a reminder that family and community come first.
Nursing baby squirrels, bunnies and opossums back to health has helped Nicole Larson to heal.
She nearly died in a 2022 car accident that left her with a fractured pelvis, deflated lung and other serious injuries.
“I lost a lot of confidence and mobility in the car accident,” says Nicole, an accounting assistant at our Overland Park, Kansas, office. “Volunteering got me out of the house and gave me my spirit for life back and helped my body heal. I love feeding the babies!”
She volunteers at Lakeside Nature Center in Kansas City, Missouri, in the wildlife rehab program. Each Sunday, she spends two hours tackling everything from feeding animals to doing laundry and washing dishes. The center, which relies heavily on volunteers and donations, cares for injured wildlife from across Missouri before returning them to the wild.
Her love of animals and the center’s mission drew her to volunteering. Her advice for someone thinking of volunteering?
“Volunteer to do something that touches your heart.”
One night they trekked across a frozen Minneapolis lake filled with glowing ice sculptures during a winter festival. Another time they handed out water and Gatorade to runners during a weekend trail race.
Beth Stebbins had found lots of fun ways to spend time with her “little” as a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters – Twin Cities.
Beth says she likes how her “little” is always open to trying a new activity in the community.
“I appreciate her attitude of, ‘say yes and if you don’t like it, you don’t have to do it again,’” says Beth, Scoular’s Director of Sustainability.
Not only has mentoring provided a way to give back, it also has honed her leadership skills, helping her provide guidance that helps someone come to their own solutions.
Mentoring has helped her better understand what young people encounter today, such as the both the positive and negative impacts of technology.
“It’s interesting to see the world through her eyes,” Beth says.
Beth’s story and those of the other volunteers reflect who we are at Scoular: People who use their skills, time and heart to make a difference.
