Del Norter Honored by U.S. President For 200-Plus Hours of Community Service
From U.S. Cellular:
In honor of National Volunteer Month, Cheyenne Cowen, a retail wireless consultant at UScellular, has been recognized for their significant volunteer service in 2022. Because of their philanthropic efforts, Cowen was given the Presidential Volunteer Service Award, a prestigious honor from the Office of the President of the United States. This award recognizes individuals whose service positively impacts communities in every corner of the nation and inspires others to take action.
Cowen volunteered more than 200 hours in 2022 at Del Norte Mission Possible and CC4C Cornerstone Youth Group. Del Norte Mission Possible provides emergency shelter, relationship-based case management and connection to support services for those who are homeless or at risk of being homeless.
“I am so honored to celebrate Cheyenne with an amazing recognition like the Presidential Volunteer Service Award,” said Joe Hernandez, Southern Oregon and California area sales manager at UScellular. “Giving back to the community is at the core of UScellular, and I congratulate Cheyenne on their achievement.”
“My passion for the community and helping others believe in themselves again inspired me to volunteer,” said Cowen. “Sometimes we need a helping hand up, not just a handout.”
