People Plus recognized for United Way campaign work
BRUNSWICK — People Plus was awarded the 2020 United Way of Mid Coast Maine’s Campaign Public Service Division Award at thr 2020 Finale Meeting.
Stacy Frizzle-Edgerton, People Plus executive director, accepted the award at the meeting via Zoom, in front of 30 People Plus members having a monthly lunch outside in the center parking lot.
Chris Szalay, United Way Campaign Cabinet member, said “Working with a similar population, I can tell you that People Plus really rocked it this year. hey helped people shop, pick up prescriptions, brought them masks, and did check-in calls. As anyone who has met Stacey knows, she is a one-woman walking fundraising rally. She inspires her staff to be 100 percent on board with United Way and with whatever they are doing, whether it’s finding a way to hold exercise classes in the parking lot, to weekly videos, to revamping their stellar event – the Senior Expo, to go entirely virtual and getting sponsors to keep agency information live for the next year. Thank you, People Plus, for your contributions to our community and to our UW campaign.”
United Way funds provide support for the center’s activities including the free Volunteer Transportation Network, Good Morning safety call program, exercise classes, clubs, social gatherings and public presentations that make up the activities of the Brunswick area senior community center.
