As a way to celebrate its 20th anniversary, Faith in Action for Cass County will highlight volunteers several times a month throughout 2021. Volunteers will be recognized for their services and awarded $20 gas cards and other prizes.
Les Olson, of Backus, has volunteered with Faith in Action for Cass County since 2012. He has provided more than 420 hours of services providing transportation and delivering Meals on Wheels to remote areas of Cass County. Olson has logged more than 23,600 miles helping his neighbors in need.
When asked why he has volunteered for so many years, Olson said, “Volunteering gets me out of the house, and I like to meet people.”
As a thank you, Olson received a $20 gas card from Southside Station in Hackensack.
A locally supported, nonprofit charitable organization, Faith in Action for Cass County coordinates volunteers who provide nonmedical, neighborly assistance to seniors, the disabled and people in need throughout Cass County.
