Kristen Desmond, owner of Flagstone Pantry, began volunteering in November of 2012 to help organize all of the grocery store food drive volunteers, train them on how to handle the food drives, and ensure food drives were approved by grocery store managers.
Because of her efforts, we collected 95,000 pounds of food during the holiday season. She was a tremendous help and we couldn’t have done it without out her.
"Helping the Foodbank with the grocery store food drives was an amazing experience. The Foodbank staff works incredibly hard, as does our entire community, to support families in need - but they can't do it without volunteers. I encourage others to take leadership opportunities as volunteers.
It's truly a labor of love and one of the more rewarding things I did this holiday season. Thank you to all of the volunteers and store managers that made it happen."
