She has volunteered at the nursery at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church for the past decade.

He has volunteered for the chamber’s street fairs for the past two decades, and has done volunteer work on the Hermosa Beach Coordinating Council for the past 10 years.
Feys is a member of the ALTRUS literacy group and picks up bottles, cans and plastic litter five times a week throughout the city for recycling efforts that benefit charity.
He has performed volunteer work for voter registration drives, car shows, the recent city picnic, the Easter season "Eggstravaganza," and Friends of the Library.
The chamber has selected a man and woman of the year since 1961, recognizing volunteer service in civic, social and economic activities.
