🎉 Congratulations to our 2026 Jack Radochia Service Award recipient, Karen! 🎉
As Volunteer Appreciation Month came to a close in April, we were thrilled to recognize one volunteer whose hard work stands out. The Jack Radochia Service Award is presented annually to a volunteer who goes above and beyond in service to Arlington EATS, and Karen is a truly deserving recipient. ⭐️
Nominated by her fellow volunteers, Karen is known for her incredible commitment, reliability, and willingness to help wherever she is needed. She volunteers for multiple shifts each week, supports fellow volunteers, welcomes guests with kindness, and shares her deep knowledge of Arlington EATS to help keep things running smoothly. Here’s what some of her fellow volunteers had to say:
💚 “I can’t think of anyone at Arlington EATS who has given the time, shares her expertise, and has the commitment to Arlington EATS as much as Karen. She just does it all.”
💙 “Karen is a consistently reliable resource for all things Arlington EATS. She knows everybody—guests, volunteers, and staff—and is always willing to lend a hand or go the extra step.”
💚 “She is a fan favorite of our guests, and she loves them, too!”
💙 “When I first began volunteering at Arlington EATS, Karen was incredibly helpful in guiding me through my role as a new volunteer.”
💚 “She makes a meaningful difference in the community and is truly deserving of this recognition.”
Karen’s impact can be felt throughout Arlington EATS, and we are so grateful for her dedication, generosity, and leadership. Please join us in congratulating Karen on this well-deserved honor! 🙌
