Volunteer nominations sought for Hinsch Community Service Awards
Scott J. & Margaret W. Hinsch
The Piqua Community Foundation is now accepting nominations for The Scott J. Hinsch & Margaret W. Hinsch Community Service Awards.
The Hinsch Family Fund of The Piqua Community Foundation offers The Hinsch Community Service Awards annually to recognize outstanding volunteers for charitable organizations. Two awards are typically made each year.
The guidelines have been amended this year to welcome a larger volume of nominations. Instead of recognizing one male and one female volunteer, as in year’s past, the award will now recognize individuals, regardless of gender, or a group of two to five volunteers working toward a common goal.
Each selected award winner will each receive a glass plaque, and the organizations that nominated the winners will each receive a $2,000 unrestricted grant to serve the Piqua community from The Hinsch Family Fund of The Piqua Community Foundation.
The Hinsch Family Fund was established in 2015 by Scott and Margaret Hinsch’s children and their spouses, John and Marsha Hinsch and Linda and the late Bob Campbell. The awards honor Scott and Margaret’s legacy of service to the Piqua community.
“We are so humbled to share these awards in memory of my parents who loved and served Piqua all their lives,” John Hinsch said.
The volunteers who received the awards for their service in 2023 are:
- Russell Fashner, Friends of the Piqua Parks
- Krista Abernathy, St. James Episcopal Church
- Adele Penrod, Piqua Parents as Teachers
