Council honored more than a dozen drivers who have assisted with a “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” program providing rides to citizens who have been in need of transportation since the city’s public transit service ended in November. The service has been coordinated by members of the Go Perrysburg committee.
Each of the volunteers was given a mug emblazoned with the City of Perrysburg’s seal, and a certificate.
“I wanted to honor some people who have been very helpful to our community during our downtime with our transit system,” said Mayor Nelson Evans.
“I really appreciate the efforts you’ve gone through to spend your time” and help those in need, he said.
“That’s kind of an over and above type of thing.”
Mariann “Mimi” Laing, one of the volunteers honored at the meeting, said that she provides rides sometimes as often as two or three times a week to those who needed them.
