Idaho Falls Volunteer 'Leads By Example In Everything She Does'

Idaho Falls, ID— Without community leaders, Idaho Falls wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Terri Thomas, a Idaho Falls reader who nominated Candace Marie Mitcham.

How do you know this community leader?

She was our real estate agent bringing us into the area.

What does this community leader do?

She is amazing! She volunteers on so many city boards from the orchestra to the zoo. She attends city council meetings, donates her time and money to so many causes and supports community events with enthusiasm and great attention to detail!

Why do you believe the community leader should be recognized or honored?

She is so positive and leads by example in everything she does. She exudes the great spirit of volunteering and involvement to make our city great and never has an unkind thing to say but gets to work-solving problems. Besides being a great real estate agent, she helps others in need and once a client, always a client. During the recent storms and home flooding, she became aware of several of her clients who were having flooding issues and personally she and her husband went to help them even though they were having the same issues at their house. She donates to food shelters she does work to bring awareness to city issues and to cultural he events that could use support and backing

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero?

We love you! Idaho Falls can be the best community to live in if we would all have the enthusiasm and willingness to serve and love the same way that Candace does!
