Trillium Employment Services, a nonprofit agency based in Auburn, recognized Teresa Allen for her work with developmentally disabled students in the Kent-Meridian High School cafeteria.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Allen, the kitchen manager, received a framed award on behalf of the kitchen staff in a ceremony Wednesday morning at the school. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Allen\u2019s work has directly contributed to the school\u2019s transition outreach program (TOP), which helps place disabled students in internships and later full-time work to incorporate them into the community.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The award is given to employers who, according to James Wilson with Trillium, \u201creally stand out and are real supportive of their employees. They stand by our vision of building inclusive communities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Allen had known about the award for some time, but said that it reflects not just her but the entire kitchen staff who work with TOP interns. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI get all the credit for all that goes on, but they do a lot of the work,\u201d Allen said. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to be appreciated.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
