October 2024: Volunteers of the Month

Barry Jung

Our pantry volunteer of the month is Barry Jung! It has only been a couple months since Barry started volunteering with us, and in that time he's tried out an assortment of volunteer jobs. Barry brings a good sense of humor and an energetic work ethic to every volunteer job he's done. He does a great job as our Meat Disbursement person for distributions, a very important job that can sometimes be difficult. Some of the tasks that are necessary at the food pantry aren't easy, but Barry is always up to the challenge. Volunteers like Barry help our food distributions run smoothly and that is always our goal.

OPRFHS Athletic Council

The Home Delivery team would like to celebrate the OPRF Huskie Athletic Council, they are our Volunteers of the Month! Ten members of the council, Jenny Keane, Sammy Menconi, Sarah Menconi, Samantha Leung, Claudia Doyle, Leia Hammerscmidt, Elyssa Hasapis, Emma Redmond, Arielle Spurlock, and Molly Chambers spent their Indigenous People's Day holiday volunteering with us. They tackled all of the tasks with enthusiasm. When our delivery was delayed, nobody sat on the sidelines. They were able to quickly pivot and dive into something new. When all of the tasks were completed and there was a little time left in the day they put together some TikToks for Beyond Hunger. It was so great to have them in our corner. They are a bunch of heavy hitters and really knocked it out of the park for us.
