Local woman recognized as a Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful volunteer

From staff reports

A Venango County woman has been recognized by Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, a statewide nonprofit that focuses on litter cleanups and community improvements, with a Volunteer of the Year award.

Jenna Dillion, who was nominated by PA CleanWays of Venango County, consistently volunteered at every special collection and recycling event at the county’s new recycling center for the past year.

She was also integral in recruiting additional volunteers during 2022.

“Jenna not only cares deeply about recycling and the environment, but also about safety,” said Erik Johnson, the PA CleanWays of Venango County coordinator and the recycling coordinator and facility manager with the Venango County Regional Planning Commission.

“She helps ensure that participants and volunteers have a safe and enjoyable time,” Johnson added.

Each year, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful announces the recipients of its recognition program for individuals, government, organizations and businesses whose efforts support and strengthen the mission of a clean and beautiful Pennsylvania.

“We are grateful for our volunteers and partners across the state whose dedication, commitment and exceptional contributions helped advance our mission and strengthen community improvement efforts statewide in 2022,” Shannon Reiter, president of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, said. “Each one is deserving of recognition.”
