Heart of the Community Award

Volunteers are "shining stars" who do make a difference in Midland County. They demonstrate their commitment to the community by turning their passion into action.

In 2009 United Way of Midland County Volunteer Center celebrated our local volunteers at a special recognition event held at Memorial Presbyterian's fellowship hall.

Gretta Coppens was awarded the individual 2009 Heart of the Community Award for her inspiring work with Cancer Services.

The American Red Cross' Talking Newspaper volunteers was given the Group Award for their work in recording newspaper articles for physically and visually challenged community members.

A big thank you to everyone who is out there making a difference by volunteering.
