Marion/​Grant Coun­ty natives Scott and Kel­ly Sny­der are loy­al neigh­bors to the com­mu­ni­ty, giv­ing of their time and tal­ents in var­i­ous ways.

They active­ly par­tic­i­pate at cleanups for numer­ous neigh­bor­hoods, care for their com­mu­ni­ty gar­den, the Curf­man Gar­den, on Wash­ing­ton St., and also con­nect with and help neigh­bors who express a need through Neigh­bor­link Grant Coun­ty (neigh​bor​linkgc​.org). They are also mem­bers of The Exit Church in Gas City.

Kel­ly serves at Mar­i­on Health through the aux­il­iary board, in the mail­room, and with spe­cial projects includ­ing Kate’s Kart and Lights of Love. She also serves on the Kin­well Academy’s board and the Unit­ed Way of Grant County’s cam­paign committee. 

Scott serves once a week for Meals on Wheels in addi­tion to serv­ing with his wife. 

Kel­ly expressed their shared love for Mar­i­on and its peo­ple as the dri­ver of their involve­ment. She also empha­sized the grat­i­fi­ca­tion she receives even when help­ing out in a small way. ​“I feel like if we all would do 1%, we would be where we need to be.”

City of Mar­i­on Neigh­bor­hood Asso­ci­a­tion Coor­di­na­tor Kay­la John­son grate­ful­ly expressed, ​“The com­mu­ni­ty is at its best when folks like Kel­ly and Scott are involved. Their help­ful hearts are con­sis­tent­ly mak­ing a difference…as reli­able land­lords of sev­er­al prop­er­ties, vol­un­teers at a neigh­bor­hood cleanup, build­ing ramps for a neigh­bor in need, or sort­ing the mail at the hos­pi­tal. Team Sny­der is always will­ing to lend a hand, and they are mak­ing an impact in our com­mu­ni­ty each time they do.”

Kel­ly grad­u­at­ed from Mar­i­on High School, and attend­ed Ball State Uni­ver­si­ty before work­ing for her fam­i­ly busi­ness of con­ve­nient stores for over 20 years. Scott grad­u­at­ed from Oak Hill High School, and served as a Mar­i­on Fire­fight­er for 27 years before retiring.
