Optimist Joe Anderson, recently recognized on this blog for the Shop with a Cop program in Gresham, Oregon, has been named one of Gresham's top thirty volunteers.
According to a press release issued by the Gresham Chamber of Commerce and Boeing Company these volunteers were chosen because they have spent countless hours raising money for charities, organizing community events and volunteering at food banks, homeless shelters, senior centers and schools. They are committed to improving Gresham's image and making the city a better place to live.
Mr. Anderson was recognized specifically for his efforts with the Optimist Club to provide firewood for the needy and special projects to provide Christmas cheer.
Congratulations Joe!
