Follow on Google News | Stark County – Mayor and County Day of Recognition for National ServiceBy: Family & Community Services, Inc. The celebration took place at the Community Campus at Goodwill on March 20. Mayor and County Day of Recognition for National Service is an annual, nationwide event in which over 3,500 elected officials participated last year. In addition to Senior Companion, RSVP and Foster Grandparent volunteers, several Stark County Senior Corps Advisory Council Members were present. Lisa Turklj-Painter from Canton City Schools and Shelley Kizer-Hays from SCCAA Head Start also showed their enthusiastic support for hard-working, local National Service volunteers. Senior Companions help frail elderly people retain independence in their own homes for as long as possible. RSVP volunteers provide transportation, help in food pantries, do tax counseling and take part in many other crucial community support programs. Foster Grandparents tutor and mentor students in local schools, Head Starts, YMCAs and at other non-profit educational sites. Congratulations to the Senior Corps volunteers who are working hard every day, all over Stark County, making a difference in people's lives and strengthening the fabric of our local communities!
