We wanted to give all our volunteers one giant collective hug, but we settled for a party. Here are just two of the amazing people who give so generously of their time and energy to this ministry and were honored back in June.
Life of Service Award – Dorothy Morse
For over 20 years, Dorothy has opened and sorted incoming contributions on a daily basis. Her integrity and faithfulness make her an exceptionally valuable part of our team. Look up the definition for “steadfast,” and you’ll find a description of our incredible Dorothy.
Albert Arend Award – Richard Penn
Like the Mission’s founder, Richard shares God’s heart for the poor and has devoted countless hours to making the new UGM Center for Women and Children in Coeur d’Alene a reality. Having traveled the world doing mission work, Richard wanted to make an impact locally and what an impact he has made.
