ADRC Volunteer Spotlight: Preston Taylor

by | Jul 24, 2024 | Blog, Volunteer

Are you ready to step into another edition of “Our Volunteers are Amazing” articles? I’m betting if you asked Preston Taylor this very question, his response would be “Oh yeah! Lucky me!”

If you have ever had the joy of meeting Preston, you know his smile and energy will most definitely put a smile on your face and brighten your day! Stop by Grounded Cafe and you might see Preston busily chopping and prepping veggies for soups or making cookies. This is especially true on Saturdays during the Farmer’s Markets. His favorite things about helping in the cafe are meeting new people, serving them delicious food, and being able to work with his friends.

I mean it when I say Preston is energetic! He not only gives his time to Grounded Cafe, but also volunteers at Neville Public Museum and the NEW Zoo. He plays baseball with the Miracle League and is involved in lots of activities with the Down Center Association of Wisconsin. He recently became the very first self-advocate for the Green Bay chapter. Preston is also currently writing a book on the history of Green Bay, Wisconsin and is hoping to do a reading of it at Grounded Cafe once it has been published.

When he’s not giving back, he loves learning about Wisconsin and presidential history, singing (especially Luke Bryan songs), dancing, and playing the guitar and drums. Another favorite hobby of his is traveling to explore new places while camping with his mom, dad, older sister, and their Blue Heeler named Owen.
