Tom Umstead is the type of person who can turn a newspaper’s photo op into an opportunity for charitable giving. That’s exactly what he did one recent morning.

Umstead visited the Ronald McDonald House near Scottish Rite to have his portrait made to run with this article. He appeared with his car’s trunk full of food, flowers and baby-care items he’d collected for the charity.

Umstead, or “Mr. Tom” to those that know him, isn’t your typical part-time community volunteer. At age 82, he gives his time to several local charities and says he’s involved in one volunteer job or another seven days a week.

“I’m living an unbelievable life,” said Umstead. “Over the years I’ve built so many great relationships.” great bonds with staff and other volunteers.

“What’s so incredible is that he came up with it himself,” Greider added. “Mr. Tom doesn’t look for appreciation. He does it because he finds gratification.”

Ronald McDonald House Charities builds facilities that house families with children who are receiving medical care.
