Volunteers Make Good Work Possible!
Volunteers are the backbone of the Food Bank
lending a hand
with filling food orders, sending out mailings, repackaging food products,
or cleaning the warehouse.
The 3rd Saturday of each month is Family Matter's Day at the Food Bank.
Groups are invited to volunteer together from 9 a.m. - noon.
Family Matter's Day is not just for traditional families, any group is
welcome.

We do ask that groups
interested in volunteering contact our volunteer coordinator, Cheryl Proctor,
so we know how many volunteers to expect. You may call Cheryl at 269-964-3663

Don and Donna Kachman are regulars to Family
Matter's Day, volunteering almost every Saturday that we are open. Many
times, when scheduling permits, their children join them.
The Food Bank also welcomes volunteers during regular business hours,
Mon. - Fri. from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Members of the Trinity United Methodist Church Dorcas Circle volunteer at the
Food Bank throughout the year helping with mailings of the Annual Report,
Feinstein Challenge
and Tax Credit materials.
 
The Sonoma Kids' After-school pack Packers are just one of the groups that volunteer at
the Food Bank on a regular basis. The second Tuesday of each month they can be found packing up over
500 special packs that are distributed to children in Calhoun &
Kalamazoo counties.
 
In addition to being part of the Kids' Backpack group, Les Senker (above left) and
Norm Hewitt (above right) are regulars around the Food Bank. Les
volunteers as a driver for the Food Bank whenever the need arises and Norm
performs a number of functions around the warehouse, including filling
detergent bottles with laundry detergent donated by the
Target Distribution
Center.
