We've learned that Bill is an incredible organizer and efficiency expert! He thought he was taking on a simple project - packaging food to distribute to senior centers, a Foodbank program called Brown Bag, when he first signed up to volunteer.
Bill discovered that the program really needed a leader to organize all of the volunteer paperwork and get the sites running more efficiently. Bill's not the kind of guy to just sit around - if something needs improvement, he's going to help in any way he can. He just dug in and created all of his own processes and procedures to clean things up. This has taken so much time and pressure off the Brown Bag Program Manager and myself and we are extremely grateful!
Now, Bill's adding volunteers to create a team. Each of his team members are being assigned to a different program site to manage. Bill's created all of the processed and procedures, so now it's just a matter of duplicating these standards at all of the sites and empowering a team of lead volunteers to help him accomplish this goal.
Whooo, hooo, Bill! We are so thankful to have you on our team!)
The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County proudly recognizes amazing volunteers who have helped make a significant difference in our community. Whether these volunteers are out in the community impacting lives or managing our programs so the Foodbank staff can reach and help more people, their efforts have not gone unnoticed. Thank you for your dedication to our mission, hard work, and helpful hearts!
