Thanks to Penny!!

Penny is our ServSafe Certified Warehouse Sorting & Packaging Leader! She volunteers two mornings per week to lead our warehouse sorting and packaging projects AND the second Saturday of every month to facilitate the packaging station for our Kids4Foodbank Program.

Attention to detail, following "The Book," and making sorting and packaging FUN is Penny's M.O. She starts off her day coordinating with our warehouse manager to see what needs to be sorted or packaged that day. Projects include sorting fresh produce that our amazing Back Yard Bounty volunteers pick, sorting canned and boxed food, and packaging pasta or beans.

When volunteers come in, she gives them a FUN tour of our warehouse and explains what the Foodbank does. Then, she gets right down to business - instructing everyone on her team on how to follow the food safety rules so that we are in alignment with ServSafe guidelines.

Penny goes above and beyond every day! She's always making suggestions on how we can improve our processes and procedures to become more efficient and she NEVER let's anything slide. Her perfectionism is imperative to the success of our sorting and packaging program.

Thank you, Penny, for your never ending determination and dedication!)
