Couple recognized as District 1 citizens of the year

Two West Orange residents were recognized as citizens of the year by District 1 Commissioner Nicole Wilson. 

"It's my absolute privilege to honor two remarkable District 1 residents, Anne and Shaun Fulton," Wilson said. "For years they've poured energy into supporting the West Orange marching band." 

Beyond supporting the West Orange marching band, the Fultons provide services to many vulnerable members of the community. 

"We think it's a great idea to boost what we stand for," Anne Fulton said.  "It's to support those most vulnerable in our community in a dignified and beautiful way." 

The couple is developing comfort cubes - small, mobile shelters offering safety and a first step toward stability. 

"They're more than volunteers, they're catalysts," Wilson said.

The Fultons are always looking for ways to get involved in the community and help those in need and have called District 1 home for years.
