#21 Megan Huffman is the Director of Community Outreach for the Greater Lynchburg Community Foundation. She is also the driving force behind Share Greater Lynchburg, a platform that creates a one-stop shop to easily connect the region's non-profits with local neighbors and businesses. But there's so much more to it than that. In short, Share Greater Lynchburg makes it effortless to get involved and make a difference.
