Volunteer Spotlight


Gloria “Gigi” Tanner, Tax Assessor for St. Helena Parish, continues to make a meaningful impact in our community through both her service and her generosity. In addition to her ongoing philanthropic support of our 4-H program, Ms. Tanner is generously sharing her time and culinary talents with our 4-H Culinary Club this June. Our youth are excited to learn her techniques for creating classic favorites like her legendary peach cobbler and banana pudding. Experiences like these provide hands-on learning and inspire confidence and creativity in the kitchen. Thank you, Ms. Tanner, for your dedication to St. Helena Parish and for investing in the next generation through 4-H!
