County of Summit Developmental Disabilities Board


I am Summit DD - Ben

When the Community Supports and Services Department learned that an employer new to Summit County was looking for assistance in their kitchen, staff wasted no time connecting Benjamin Hill with this opportunity. After a short interview, Ben was offered a position at Simply EZ Home Delivered Meals. Ben has made quite an impression since he was hired in 2008. So much so, that he was recently named 2009 Employee of the Year in the Kitchen. Way to go, Ben!

Simply EZ is an organization that delivers meals to the homes of older individuals. Ben packs meals for delivery in the kitchen. Since he started at the company, he has been rewarded with additional hours and a raise. His employee of the year nomination narrative read as follows:

“The selection of Ben Hill as Employee of the Year in the Kitchen at Simply EZ Home Delivered Meals is because of his determination to do an excellent job for us everyday that he is here. Once he enters the door the atmosphere is brighter and the staff appreciates his attitude and hard work. Whenever he is asked to do a task he does it immediately and with enthusiasm. You enjoy witnessing this attitude, as an employer, because it becomes infectious to all employees.”
