Sheriff Cummings receives John D. Fox Award in Bourne
Ann Marie Riley presents Sheriff Jim Cummings with the John D. Fox Award in Bourne.
Barnstable County Sheriff Jim Cummings accepts the prestigious John D. Fox Award from Ann Marie Riley, coordinator of Bourne Friends Food Pantry. The accompanying ceremony, a late May Volunteer Appreciation reception, applauded the Sheriff for dispatching inmate crews to offload the pantry's weekly delivery of foodstuffs. They have been doing it for about a year.
The plaque the Sheriff is holding (above) also singles out the three crew supervisors - Sgt. Joe Brait and Deputies Nick Bevilacqua and John Curry. The award was named after John Fox, a Bourne resident who passed away several years ago after spending more than a decade as a pantry volunteer. "When in doubt, give it out," was his motto on food distribution, according to the town's council on aging director.
The council and its affiliate group, Friends of the Bourne Council on Aging, sponsored the reception.
