KenCrest services recognized a group of industrious residents from the Hershey's Mill community at their Community Champions Awards luncheon last month. The group has been an integral part of an adaptive design project, creating customized devices for children with disabilities.
"This has been a rewarding project," said Fred Auger, a Hershey's Mill resident and one of the point people for the project. "The equipment is highly functional, individualized and very colorful. Seeing the kids and the smiles on their faces is worth everything," he said.
Auger and his 93-year-old father Arnold, represented the Hershey's Mill wood shop group and accepted the award from KenCrest. They explained that several others put in time to work on the project, mass producing items that have been requested.
