Local Modern Woodmen Members Honor Hometown Hero

Local volunteer Kim Ritchie, director of Transitions, was recently recognized for countless hours of service to the community during a Modern Woodmen of America member event on 4/29/2018.

Ritchie was honored through Modern Woodmen’s Hometown Hero Program for all of her hard work and dedication to make Transitions a success! Transitions is a local non-profit that helps individuals and families that are in transition. These items include, but are not limited to clothes, personal hygiene, household, kitchen utensils, small kitchen appliances, towels, washcloths, beds and bedding, In addition they will supply items related to care for infants such as diapers, wipes, blankets, bedding and as available, car seats.

As part of the Hometown Hero Program, members of the Beaver Dam Modern Woodmen Chapter presented Ritchie with a certificate and a $100 award grant to be donated to the charitable organization of the honoree’s choice.

“Volunteers form the foundation of a strong community,” says Cassandra Schmidt, local Modern Woodmen volunteer leader. “Modern Woodmen’s Hometown Hero Program gives us the chance to thank those who selflessly give their time to make the world a better place.”

Coordinated by local Modern Woodmen members, the fraternal financial services organization’s Summit chapters, chapters and youth service clubs provide opportunities for members to take part in social and educational activities and volunteer projects to meet local needs.
