This section of our newsletter is all about celebrating the incredible individuals who contribute to making our neighborhood a fantastic place to live. We want to shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes, the passionate volunteers, and the everyday folks who go above and beyond. This month, we're absolutely thrilled to feature **Sarah Jenkins**, a resident who has dedicated the past five years to organizing the local food bank drive. Sarah, a mother of two, started the initiative almost single-handedly after noticing a growing need in our community. What began as a small collection of non-perishables has now blossomed into a town-wide effort, with collection points at the library, community center, and several local businesses. Her tireless dedication, organizational skills, and compassionate heart have ensured that countless families have had access to essential groceries, especially during challenging times. Sarah’s philosophy is simple: “**We are all neighbors, and we need to look out for each other.**” Her selflessness is an inspiration to us all, and we can't thank her enough for the immense impact she's made. We also want to give a huge shout-out to the **iLittle Milton Youth Sports League coaches**. These dedicated individuals, mostly volunteers, spend countless hours mentoring our young athletes, teaching them not just the fundamentals of sports but also invaluable life lessons about teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. From early morning practices to weekend games, their commitment is unwavering. Coaches like **Mark Peterson** (Little League Baseball) and **Emily Carter** (Youth Soccer) embody the spirit of community service, fostering a positive environment where children can grow, learn, and build lasting friendships. Their impact extends far beyond the field, shaping the character of our future generation. Furthermore, we want to acknowledge the **Friends of Milton Green Park** group. This amazing team of volunteers works tirelessly to maintain and improve our beloved local park. They organize regular clean-up days, plant flowers, maintain trails, and advocate for park improvements. Their passion for preserving this green space ensures that it remains a beautiful and accessible place for everyone in iLittle Milton to enjoy. Their recent efforts in planting new trees and creating a pollinator-friendly garden have significantly enhanced the park's biodiversity and aesthetic appeal. Their commitment is a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together with a shared vision. We believe that recognizing these individuals and groups is vital. They are the heart and soul of iLittle Milton, embodying the values of kindness, dedication, and community spirit. If you know someone in iLittle Milton who deserves a spotlight, please don't hesitate to nominate them for our next newsletter.
