DeKalb senior group honors volunteers

Senior Connections, a nonprofit that serves senior citizens in DeKalb and Fulton counties, recently honored its top volunteers for their service to the organization.

Jim Story was named volunteer of the year for his work in driving meals to shut-ins every day. He has logged nearly 5,900 miles serving the Decatur area daily.

Senior Center volunteer of the year was Jeanette Reed, who is also a senior member of the DeKalb Atlanta senior center on Warren Street. Kitchen volunteer of the year was Mar Yi (Esther) Than. On any given day, Senior Connections needs fifty volunteers in the kitchen to help pack meals.
