Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties was the surprise recipient of a $150 gift thanks to the service and generosity of a Wayne County college student.
Rebecca Ruff, a senior sociology major at The College of Wooster, was one of two recipients of the 2009 J. Howard Morris and Josephine L. Morris Volunteer Service Award. It is presented annually by the Wooster Volunteer Network and goes to the two students who display the greatest commitment, reliability and initiative toward volunteer service.
Rebecca, who hails from Philadelphia, Pa., was recognized for her volunteer efforts at the Ida Sue School in Wooster, as well as her service on the Wooster Volunteer Network executive board. She received a $150 cash award to donate to the charity of her choice, and she designated Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties (MOWSW).
According to Rebecca, she selected Meals On Wheels because her grandmother had been a volunteer in the 1950s, delivering meals in Butler County, Pa. Rebecca said her grandmother became a client and received home meal delivery in her later years.
