OF THE MONTH
THE FAITHFUL FRIDAY WARRIORS
May 2023
The Faithful Friday Warriors are our May Volunteers of the Month for NutriPacks. These ten volunteers arrive faithfully every Friday morning at 7:30 am to unload 5-8 pallets of food from the our Central Food Bank truck delivery. They open cartons to stock our shelves and set up all menu items for the Wednesday Pack of over 600 bags each week. These wonderful volunteers also recycle every piece of cardboard and plastic wrappings each week.... all with outgoing, comical comradery spirits and hearts of gold. Thank you Ken, Jim, John, Matt, Doug, Mary, John, Matt, Barry, Ken, Dennis and Jay!
