November 2024: Volunteers of the Month

Pamela Freese

Home Delivery would like to extend our gratitude to Pamela Freese as our Volunteer of the Month! Pamela is fairly new to helping out over here at Home Delivery. Despite her recent arrival to our Chicago facility, she has taken on several different jobs. She has helped with routes, both with the team and solo. She has also helped with the heavy lifting of our Greater Chicago Food Depository delivery. We appreciate the upbeat energy that she brings to our space. Pamela doesn't shy away from strenuous and repetitive tasks. We really appreciate all you do for Beyond Hunger and the Home Delivery program!

Lisa Jesik

The Pantry Team has chosen Lisa Jesik as their Volunteer of the Month! November is our busiest month of the year and what comes with that is our weekly delivery truck from the Greater Chicago Food Depository. This delivery totals up to 23,000 pounds each delivery! Lisa leads the delivery truck intake with ease. She ensures inventory is accurate while setting the pace of getting the delivery into the pantry. In November, she was there to help for every single one of these deliveries and we are very grateful for her dedication. Thank you for your steadfast support to the pantry programs, and your positive energy, Lisa!
