Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Middle Smithfield Township's Person of the Year was not awarded and no events were held for 2020 or 2021. In January 2022, the Township held a Volunteer Appreciation Banquet, at which two long-time residents - Bob Huffman and Ray White - were honored. The Person of the Year Award was revived for 2022 and the banquet was held again for the first time in January 2023.
