NILES Seniors who have been giving back to their communities got some well-deserved acknowledgement last Friday as AmeriCorps Seniors took over Eastwood Field for its Volunteer All Stars recognition event.
Approximately 75 local volunteers with the Foster Grandparents and RSVP Retired Senior Volunteer Program were invited to drive up to the stadium or walk through the concourse and collect recognition gifts like flowers, mugs, bags and T-shirts. Volunteers also were treated with lunch to go, and, of course, a picture with Mahoning Valley Scrappers mascot Scrappy.
Gerard Kelly, director of RSVP, said that volunteering provides recognition for seniors, which is what the All Stars event was all about. It also keeps seniors active and healthier.
