Amy Obney began working for Helping Hands of Yuma in the fall of 2009. During the past nine years, she has worked her way up through the organization, learning every facet of how this non-profit works, and the needs of the people we serve.
Amy's passion for Helping Hands, the people we assist, and our volunteers is evident in everything that she says and does.
Amy’s job encompasses many responsibilities, including managing the day to day operations, working with the Board of Directors, creating viable partnerships, and collaborating with other organizations in our area to identify, and address, the needs of our senior population in East Yuma County. Amy also supervises our wonderful volunteers, who provide the services needed by our care clients, and prepare and work at events including our annual yard sales.
Amy is dedicated to keeping Helping Hands of Yuma a stable and sustainable part of the East Yuma County community, and she works hard to find the necessary funding to accomplish our mission.
Lana has volunteered with Helping Hands of Yuma since 2011 and, after retiring from the Yuma County Library District in January of 2020, she came to work part time as the Helping Hands Office Coordinator.
