Brighter Tomorrows: Thue sees value in giving back to Brandon
By:
Jeff Thue, Brandon Community Foundation Board Member
This week, we would like to introduce you to Jeff Thue. Jeff has served on the Board of Directors for the Brandon Community Foundation since 2016, and is no stranger to community and civic involvement.
Jeff is an owner of Component Manufacturing & Reaves Buildings, and enjoys serving the community through giving his time and talents to non-profits and other groups in the Sioux Falls and Brandon areas. Jeff has served on the board of directors for numerous non-profit organizations like Collision of the Sioux Empire, a student-led ministry in the area, the Brandon Area Prayer Breakfast, along with coaching many kids’ sports along the way. Jeff’s faith is a cornerstone and an important focus in his life. He loves working with kids in the Collision ministry.
He hopes his example of giving back, rolling up his sleeves, and helping others can be an inspiration to his daughter, Sidney, and son, Jack.
Jeff and his family (wife Michelle, Sidney, 16, Jack, 14) have called Brandon home for 10 years. Jeff and his wife have lived in the area for over 20 years, but when the kids were getting to school age, it was then that they started looking at Brandon where quality of life, a great school system, overall safety, and a place they can call “home” materialized; they love being part of the Brandon community!
When asked why Jeff volunteers his time to the board of the Brandon Community Foundation, he says, “We can be a part of making tomorrow better for our people, our families, and our entire community through the work of the Foundation. I am happy to be a small part in telling the story of the great work the Foundation supports.”
