Community Action Team (CAT) members Matthew Harris, Dawn Stewart and Linzy Plessel have been named Lakeview Center’s Team Members of the Quarter for their extraordinary compassion, teamwork and unwavering commitment to the families they serve.
Nominated by their managers, Patti Hyde and Hailey Vascik, the trio was recognized for going far beyond their roles while supporting a local family who experienced a tragic loss after a home fire. Together, Matthew, Dawn and Linzy provided daily school transportation, offered all‑day support, helped with cleaning, meals, gift‑giving and spent more than 12 hours assisting the family in safely relocating.
Their leaders, Patti Hyde and Hailey Vascik, shared, “They truly are the embodiment of Lakeview values and what the CAT team was designed to do.”
Dawn Stewart volunteers with Valerie’s House, helps on additional cases, creates and facilitates groups for single mothers and regularly goes above and beyond to meet client needs. Matthew Harris, a new father and active community member, is recognized for bringing creativity and heart to his work—whether responding to crises, supporting families late at night, or finding meaningful ways to help children process emotions. Linzy Plessel, who joined the CAT team in November, quickly immersed herself in some of the team’s most complex cases, assisting with groups, transportation and crisis support while balancing her continued education.
All three consistently volunteer outside normal working hours, attend funerals and celebrations, respond to crisis calls and collaborate with community partners to ensure families receive comprehensive care. Their leaders summed it up best: “Each of these team members goes above and beyond—personally and professionally—every single day. Congratulations to Matthew, Dawn and Linzy!
