Ruth and Harry Orth make a dynamic duo of volunteers! Both have assisted with the Back to School Program for 20 years. During this time, they have helped over 30,000 children get all of the necessary school supplies. In this past year, 2,500 children in both public and private schools received all their necessary school supplies through this program. The value of these supplies was $35,000 and was achieved through in-kind donations, grants at the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa and R.J. McElroy Trust, TJ-X, and a variety of other sources. In recognition of their efforts, Ruth & Harry Orth were nominated by Ellen Vanderloo for the Lifetime Achievement Volunteer Award.
Congratulations Ruth & Harry!
