Volunteer Week: EAST REGION

SECOND PLACE
PRESTON
WOLLETT
Seven Oaks Senior Center,
Baltimore, MD

Preston’s service to his country didn’t end after he got out of the military; it has continued as he enriches the lives of those in his community. He volunteers at several organizations, including Seven Oaks, Perry Hall United Methodist Church, Loch Raven VA Hospital, and his local AARP chapter. At the Senior Center, Preston assists in meal preparation, serves on the executive board, and has started a fund for seniors. At Loch Raven, Preston created a “Day of Service Program” to provide care packages to the 120 veterans who live there. He makes the packages with the support of local businesses and volunteers from AARP and the senior center. Additionally, he created a charitable fund in remembrance of his beloved wife, Betty, to help more people in need. “His acts of kindness will last a lifetime to those who see his vision and works in motion,” said Director of Seven Oaks Senior Center Lisa Kennedy, who nominated Preston for this award
