Each moment spent volunteering is a step toward a stronger community.

 

For Donna, giving back has always been a priority. During the pandemic, when very few individuals were allowed in the building, she stepped up to help ensure the Food Bank of South Jersey could still fulfill its mission.

“Each moment spent volunteering is a step toward a stronger community,” she says.

A resident of Maple Shade, she quickly became a familiar face at the Food Bank, dedicating her time to the packing and sorting room, where she helps organize and prepare food for distribution.

“I’ve met so many incredible people here – other volunteers, staff, and the families we serve. It’s rewarding to know that my time here is helping someone have a meal on their table.”

Her commitment goes beyond just showing up. She’s seen firsthand how access to nourishing food can change lives and believes in the power of community coming together to support one another.

“Volunteering at FBSJ has given me purpose. It’s a reminder that no matter our stage in life, we all have something to give.”

Donna is just one of the many dedicated volunteers who make the Food Bank’s mission possible. Their efforts ensure that thousands of South Jersey families have access to the food they need.
