At our annual Volunteer Appreciation Brunch & Awards, we had the honor of recognizing and celebrating our award winners! This day would not have been possible without our presenting sponsors, Huntington National Bank and Love & Truth Church Jackson, TN, our partnering sponsor Hiller Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical, our awards sponsor Hub City Blueprint, and our florals sponsor Madison County Master Gardeners. Extra special thanks to Baker Bros. BBQ and Drew Baker for hosting our event again this year, and for providing brunch to all our hardworking volunteers!
This year, we renamed the Soup Kitchen award after our beloved Tommy Jones, a faithful staple in our Kitchen, who passed away this past February. We continue his legacy in the newly named Tommy Jones Soup Kitchen Award. These award winners are celebrated for their service in 2025.
