(Sandusky) – Parkvue Community honored faithful supporters at a special dinner event held on June 24, at Plum Brook Country Club. This year, three awards were presented; the Ben M. Herbster Award presented to devoted donors, 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 Parkvue was Mrs. Audrey Shafer. Honoree for the Spirit Award was Ms. Virginia Duff, and for the Diakonie Award, First Congregational United Church of Christ of Sandusky was recognized.

Individuals whose spirit of generosity led them to provide the necessary financial resources created United Church Homes almost 100 years ago. 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 their residents,” says President and CEO, Rev. Ken Daniel.
