The annual award recognizes outstanding dedication and ongoing support of Matthew 25.

Dr. Jim Frey has diligently served the Matthew 25 clinics for over 20 years and has been a beacon of light in the Fort Wayne community. He shows kindness in caring for the needs of the less fortunate while maintaining a future-focused vision of comprehensive community health prevention, education and treatment.

As Jim’s dedicated partner, Judy has helped make her husband’s work possible. She has also made her own special contributions as a Matthew 25 volunteer. Together, the Freys truly represent the generous and compassionate spirit of Matthew 25.
