Volunteer of the Year - Larry and Tiffany Jenkins
Larry and Tiffany Jenkins were named the 2023 Volunteers of the Year due to their exceptional commitment to volunteerism and their ongoing support of special projects and activities throughout the community. The couple have shared their time and expertise in a variety of ways through the many volunteer hours they have provided to the community.
Never seeking recognition, the Jenkins have worked together and individually to help maintain Westerville’s authentic charm and the City’s appeal for people from all walks of life, including new and longtime residents, students, first responders, veterans and members of the business community.
The Jenkins were the visionaries of the Field of Heroes, a proud display of thousands of flags during Memorial Day, and they also provide storage for the flags throughout the year. Additionally, the Jenkins have led the Westerville South Instrumental Music Boosters for the last six years with Larry as President, handyman and transportation coordinator and Tiffany as leader of countless endeavors including uniforms, meals, fundraising and serving as group mom.
Together, the Jenkins have financially supported a number of parks, including First Responders Park and the Westerville Veterans Memorial. Individually, Larry has served on the Westerville Parks Foundation, Westerville Rotary, Friends for Westerville Parks and Citizens for Westerville/Blendon Fire Service. Tiffany has served on the City’s Community Partner Funding committee to evaluate funding requests that benefit residents and businesses.
