(Canal Fulton) – Chapel Hill Community honored faithful supporters at a special Donor Appreciation Dinner held on June 26 at Chapel Hill Community. This year, three awards were presented — the Ben M. Herbster Award presented to a devoted donor, the Spirit Award to an enthusiastic volunteer, and the Diakonie Award to a supportive church congregation.

The honoree for the Ben M. Herbster Award for Chapel Hill was Rev. Robert F. Beck. Honoree for the Spirit Award was Ms. Diane Lawman, and for the Diakonie Award, Zion United Church of Christ of North Canton was recognized.

United Church Homes was created almost 100 years ago by individuals whose spirit of generosity led them to provide the necessary financial resources. This tradition of generosity continues to be crucial to the ministries of United Church Homes.

“The honorees were chosen based on their commitment to the mission of United Church Homes, and furthering this mission with their support. We are grateful to all of the volunteers, employees, individuals, and congregations that continue to rally with us in their generosity each year. This is just one way we choose to say thanks for all they do for United Church Homes and its residents,” says President and CEO, Rev. Ken Daniel.
