For the past few weeks, we have been highlighting our Volunteer of the Year winners from our 2023 Keystone Awards. Today, we introduce you to Mike Townes.
Mike goes above and beyond in his volunteer work with the Y Marketplace. He comes in twice weekly, helping to unload the food order on Monday and assisting community members by carrying their food bags to their car on Tuesday. He is always willing to help with other needs related to the Marketplace such as painting, assembling shelves, and installing equipment to ensure that the Marketplace is a welcoming space for all. He has developed strong relationships with the other volunteers and staff. He knows the people who frequent the marketplace need assistance and he always treats everyone with respect and a friendliness that feeds their heart as well as their stomachs. Thank you, Mike, for having such a huge heart and sharing your talents with the Y!
