Hear From Our Volunteers

“I was very impressed with the friendliness of the staff and the other volunteers. They made me feel welcomed and appreciated.”

– Food Pantry Volunteer

“It felt great to know that I had a part in improving the days of literally hundreds. The organization made me feel both safe and appreciated during the service.”

– Community Meal Volunteer

“Most of the people who ate are the forgotten and hiding in plain sight, you only see them when something bad happens. It was nice to provide them services that I sometimes take for granted or don't even think about. It also helps me to remember how blessed I am. The staff was awesome and extremely helpful, their attitudes are GREAT.”
