Frontline workers receive recognition at Bhayana Family Foundation Awards
Unassuming. Deeply committed. Tirelessly compassionate. Respectful. Exemplary. These are some of the words used to describe a group of exceptional people who work with children, families and seniors on a daily basis at United Way-funded agencies and who were recognized for their passion, commitment and dedication at the Bhayana Family Foundation Awards.
