Frankenmuth

Karen Jennings "She spent endless hours and recruited hundreds to assist in making and donating masks. Her front porch became Operation Central with people picking up and dropping off round the clock. She started and knew others would step up to assist. She was not afraid to coordinate and take charge!" mina kiel "Mina volunteered with Muth Serves on many occasions over the last few months, she helped deliver groceries, delivered mail, helped with community Information Drops, and helped with the community yard waste drop off. Mina has been willing to help with whatever needs done. She has been a helping neighbor through it all!" Pam Williams "Pam shifted the work efforts of the local library to help meet the needs of the community during the shutdown. She worked around the clock helping coordinate the mask central distribution center, fulfilling need requests in the community, and sharing mask supplies." Kimberly zehnder "Kimberly Zehnder owns EduPlay Discovery Center. She chose to keep the day care center open during the Stay at Home order. She was open to care for children of essential workers only. To protect the children and staff she did express drop off and pick up. No parents or siblings were allowed in the building. She also kept staff and children in small communities and no moving between communities. During the Stay at Home order she did not accept any new children. She kept the day care clean and safe for staff and children." cindy hegenauer "When schools closed after March 13, there was much uncertainty for our families. We were excited to learn that Frankenmuth Schools qualified for a Federal Program which provided free breakfasts and lunches to students. In less than 24 hours, Cindy organized a team and a system to serve our community's young people. Our school district was the only place that made a hot meal each day for students. Cindy also is a leader in culture. She encouraged her team make it fun, and they held "themes" for each day. In the end, under Cindy's direction, our food service department served 28,188 meals!" Recka phillips "She has gone to work every day not complaining, Not even when there was no business She has worked hard through this time and it has been difficult. Working at a Little Caesar's is not glamorous job but She went to work every day knowing that she could catch COVID. THAT is courage." Matt & Abby Curtis "At the onset of Covid-19, Matt and Abby Curtis (From Frankenmuth Woolen Mill, Abby's of Frankenmuth, and Jaami's Ice Cream) donated hundreds of yards of fabric for mask makers. This fabric was put to use by mask makers from all over. Then when masks became a requirement, they provided 2 masks to every household within the City & Township of Frankenmuth to help keep everyone protected as businesses began to reopen." 9
