Outstanding Senior Volunteer

Our very own Joe Wilson a Bloomington resident was recognized on Thursday as the “Outstanding Senior Volunteer” for the Illinois North Central Region. He received this recognition at the 14th Annual Governor’s Volunteer Service Awards.

According to his nomination, Wilson retired after a lifetime as a construction worker with Laborers International Union of North America (LIUNA) Local 362. Union retirees assist the Tinervin Foundation food bank in Normal by unpacking the food items, setting them up for loading and building boxes for the food boxes distribution. Wilson is described as quiet, humble and volunteers with a ready smile only asking “How can I help?” (Photo courtesy WMBD-TV)
