Commissioners Salute Kenneth Bost of Eden as an Outstanding Volunteer

The Rockingham County Board of Commissioners recognized Kenneth Bost of Eden as an Outstanding Volunteer with Hospice of Rockingham County.  During the regular, June 21st Board meeting at Rockingham County Governmental Center, Bost received a special certificate from Board Chair Charlie Hall and a Rockingham County lapel pin from Commissioner Reece Pyrtle, while family, Hospice colleagues and the audience applauded.

Nominated by the Volunteer Manager of Hospice of Rockingham County, Terry M. Matthews, she wrote about challenges faced during the 2020 COVID pandemic, "...When meal pick-up and other volunteer opportunities were no longer safe, all volunteer services came to a halt."

She explained:  "The entire time that volunteering was put on-hold Kenneth Bost would call to check-in to see if there was anything he could do.  Ken understood the continued need and was willing to put others before himself.  As soon as volunteers were able to come back to the facility Kenneth was at Hospice with his mask, gloves, and a friendly smile.  Kenneth is a true servant to others and Hospice of Rockingham County is truly blessed to have him and the rest of our volunteers."
