Manna to recognize longtime volunteer

BANGOR – Manna Ministries will recognize volunteer Bill Olen for his 17 years of service at 4:15 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31.

Bill Olen, age 82, began helping serve guests at Manna Ministries in 1991. He has volunteered every day by serving in the soup kitchen and at the holiday meals.

“It is still about what they give back to me,” Olen said. “Manna has taught me that it is more important to give than receive, and I love to give back.”

Olen is moving to Washington state to be with his children in the near future.

For information on the recognition ceremony, call 990-2870.
