Durant Community Partners has announced they are honoring Wu Ye of Durant Oklahoma as their “Good Citizen of the Year” for 2022.
Ye, the owner of Asian Gourmet Restaurant has been a frequent donor of warm meals to Durant residents experiencing Covid-19 quarantine, and to individuals at The Mission homeless shelter. Durant Community Partners is a Durant based volunteerism and service group, with more than 7,000 Facebook followers.
Founded during the early months of the pandemic, the group was used to help local citizens in need with grocery deliveries and mutual aid. Using social media networking and publicity, Durant Community Partners has grown in size and scope as a platform for all kinds of volunteerism projects – from roadside trash collection to connecting parents with daycare providers, and more.
