Johnathan Stallman is a WUL Hometown Hero, and has been nominated by Maryann Zimmerman “For supporting Whitewater area 4-H youth by participating in and contributing to the fair meat auctions, helping young people see the value of their hard work; for offering his construction services free of charge after the recent storm damage; and for establishing a scholarship at Whitewater High School for seniors who wish to pursue careers in the trades or start their own businesses.”
Following is the full nomination from Maryann:
“Johnathan is a local business owner who consistently demonstrates what it means to be community-minded. He actively and specifically supports Whitewater area 4-H youth by participating in and contributing to the fair meat auctions, helping young people see the value of their hard work.
More recently, during the storms that impacted our area last week, Johnathan stepped up in a remarkable way. Despite experiencing damage to his own property, he offered his construction services free of charge to community members who were affected. That kind of selflessness speaks volumes about his character.
In addition, Johnathan has invested in the future of our community by establishing a scholarship at Whitewater High School. This scholarship supports seniors who wish to pursue careers in the trades or start their own businesses—paths that are essential to the strength and sustainability of our local economy.
Johnathan is a young man with a young family, and he quietly gives back without seeking recognition. That, in my opinion, is exactly what makes him so deserving of this honor.”
WUL (Whitewater Unites Lives) is a locally-focused civil and human rights group that works to connect the people in our community and to create opportunities for all people to learn and support each other in our common humanity.
