Someone Special recognizes Evergreen Youth and Family Services Volunteers Sarah Ek and Missy Thomas

It’s time once again for Paul Bunyan Broadcasting, Ken K. Thompson Jewelry, The Bemidji Pioneer and the United Way of Bemidji Area to recognize the efforts of volunteers in our community by awarding the Someone Special Volunteer Award for outstanding volunteer service.

Evergreen Youth & Family Services is a private, non-profit service provider to strengthen youth, preserve families, and help support successful transitions to adulthood.

Since joining the Evergreen Board in 2022, you can see Sarah Ek’s touch on all things at Evergreen. She was a committee member of the 2022 Conference and the 2023 Gala. She represents Evergreen at community events, attends board training and meetings. She brings her positivity and light, along with her talent in marketing and building community relationships to Evergreen. We are so lucky to have Sarah as a volunteer at Evergreen!

Missy Thomas has co-chaired the last 2 major Evergreen events – the 2022 Conference & the 2023 Gala. She is always willing to pitch in wherever there is a need to create a successful event. She brings enthusiasm and genuine commitment to support our mission by volunteering her time and service. We are truly grateful for a volunteer like Missy!

Sarah Ek and Missy Thomas will receive a volunteer recognition plaque from Ken K. Thompson Jewelry as an acknowledgment of outstanding community service. Thank you, Sarah and Missy for being SOMEONE SPECIAL.
