A local man is being recognized for his simple act of kindness towards the environment and our community.
myFM first spoke with Wayne Forte and his wife Katheryn in April of 2022, when they were spotted picking up garbage on their daily walk.
On Friday afternoon, Wayne was recognized by the Downtown Merchants Association for the work he has been doing.
Ron Yeomans, from A Hard Day’s Work Wear, noted they’ve seen him walking up and down the street for over a year picking up garbage now.
Yeomans awarded Wayne a $50 gift card for Coffee Cravings on behalf on the Downtown Merchants Association.
We spoke again with Wayne, asking him why he does this.
His daily walking route sees him travel through beautiful Springside Park.
Wayne told us it feels nice to be recognized.
