Most people around Whitesville believe Jerry and Vickie Morris are angels.
If someone in the community needs help with medical bills, Jerry and Vickie host a barbecue cook-off to raise money. If a local group lacks funds for a Haiti mission, the couple orders chickens and Boston butts to grill and sell.
Last year, Jerry and Vickie raised at least $200,000 for various causes and nonprofits, including St. Jude Children’s Hospital and Trinity High School.
To recognize Jerry and Vickie’s spirit of volunteerism and dedication to community, they were selected recently as Kenergy’s 2015 Members of the Year. In their honor, the cooperative donated $1,000 to Angels for Ashley – a nonprofit foundation Jerry and Vickie founded in 2009.
