๐บ๐ธ **HOMETOWN HERO WEDNESDAY** ๐บ๐ธ
*A New Americanism Series from American Legion Auxiliary Unit 219*
This week, we are proud to recognize Jennifer Yando as our Hometown Hero! โค๏ธ๐ค๐
Jennifer retired from North Country Preschool, but retirement certainly hasnโt slowed her down when it comes to helping others. Since retiring, Jennifer has continued to give her time, energy, and heart to our community through countless volunteer efforts.
Jennifer has brought a little extra magic to the holiday season by creating Santaโs Magical Red Mailbox , where she helps make sure children receive special letters from Santa. ๐
โค๏ธ Her kindness and creativity have brought smiles to so many children.
She is also an active volunteer with the Malone Adult Center, helping create and support all kinds of wonderful events and activities for our older adults. Jennifer is a strong supporter of our community and a wonderful voice for many.
When our community has needed a helping hand, Jennifer has been there. She has been seen standing in line to help hand out food, milk, and other necessities when people needed them most.
Jenniferโs willingness to step up, volunteer, and help others is a wonderful example of what being a Hometown Hero is all about.
๐บ๐ธ Jennifer, thank you for all the ways you continue to give back to Malone. Your kindness, compassion, and willingness to help make our community a better place. You are truly a Hometown Hero!๐บ๐ธ
