This week’s story comes from dauphin, Pennsylvania, where Chad Turns is the UPS driver for the small town. Turns is well known in the community for his thoughtfulness and kindness, like giving treats to dogs on his route, or delivering important packages after hours on his own time. When the pandemic struck, Turns continued to work long hours with the same positivity he always had. So the residents of Dauphin, with a population of only 800, decided to show their appreciation by surprising turns with one-thousand-dollars cash, and a large card signed by many of his customers and area residents. Video of Turns receiving the gift went viral, showing turns being greeted by cheering supporters and in tears as he was overwhelmed with emotion. Turns said it has been a tough year but he is grateful for the gift, and promises to continue to providing the stellar service he is known for.
