Volunteer of the Year

2004

Thank you
Bud Mikesell.
God bless you and your family.

Bud Mikesell Bud has been one of our dear friends and loyal supporters for years. He began his involvement with The Coalition 6 years ago when he served dinner meals with his friends from the Orem Community Church. Bud and his wife, Corrine didn't end their service there. They enjoyed their service so much that they began picking up food donations from various vendors and was very instrumental in re-establishing a donation outlet with a major food donor ($100,000/year) after a decision by a regional manager was made to discontinue donations because of potential liability concerns.

Since the passing of his wife and dear friend Corrine about a year ago, Bud has continued to be actively involved. He now picks up donations 6 days a week and has also donated many home furnishing items to our storehouse project which has found a use in many of our clients homes. Bud is one of those rare people who can make anyone feel welcome and loved. We love You Bud!

In Memoriam: "Bud left a legacy of service to all who came in contact with him, including staff, volunteers, and clients. We will always miss him and look to his example."
