May Volunteer of the Month, Katie Z.

We are excited to introduce Katie Z., our May Volunteer of the Month. Katie volunteers in the Weinberg Food Pantry, helping ensure members of our community have access to culturally relevant and nutritious food.

Staff member Rachel shared:

"Katie is reliable, flexible, and always goes above and beyond! She always shows up with a positive attitude and works hard to ensure that the pantry runs smoothly. She works behind the scenes, too, to help us sort and stock the large deliveries we receive once a month from the food bank. We appreciate all her help!"

When asked about her volunteer experience, Katie shared:

"I started volunteering sometime in 2020-2021. I was done with my retirement and wanted to volunteer somewhere that made a difference. The Food Pantry at JFS was a perfect solution, plus it was close to our house! Helping people with food insecurity is so important. One less survival hurdle helps them move their lives forward. I also like that the Food Pantry provides help with dignity.

My husband and I say we're 'working' on our volunteer days, though it's not really work. Doug, Chad, Rachael, and Izzo are great to work with and make it easy to be a volunteer."
