On Friday, September 8th, Freida Holowicki was presented with the Niles Local Hero Award at Brookdale Niles. Freida has been a dedicated volunteer for the Niles Senior Center for close to 20 years. Not only does she welcome members and guests every Tuesday morning at the greeter desk, she also volunteers with monthly mailing, special events, organizing the lobby, phone calls and covering the front desk during monthly staff meetings. And if that isn’t enough, Frieda is always willing to donate her time to community events and organizations, including the St. John Brebeuf Carnival, Niles Community Block Party, Holly Jolly and Glen Saint Andrew Living Community. Freida is a one of a kind volunteer and an incredible asset to the Niles community. The Niles Senior Center is honored to have her as our Local Hero recipient for 2017. Congratulations Freida on a job well done!
