Running a non-profit organization whose calls are on pace to nearly double from two years ago is not an easy job. However, it’s a task Don Schuster takes on every day as the executive director of Listening Ear Crisis Center.

On Nov. 3, Schuster, who is in his 29th year at the helm of the organization, was recognized for his efforts with an award from the Rotary Club of Mt. Pleasant for his high ethical standards in the pursuit of vocational excellence.

“I was stunned, surprised and honored to receive the award,” Schuster said. “When I looked around the room I saw people who had been United Way contributors and who I have known for 30 years and I clearly would not have received this award if not for the contributions of United Way to allow agencies like Listening Ear to do their work and support the citizens of our community.” Source
