Whether Maryland Food Bank volunteers are in school or retired, gleaning vegetables or sorting canned goods, we appreciate all of the work they do. In 2015, our volunteers contributed 34,000 hours of work to help the hungry across our state. In honor of Volunteer Appreciation Week, we are highlighting some of of our most dedicated volunteers from the last year.
In addition to participating in annual events, volunteers from the Bank of America also come to the food bank on a monthly basis to help support the mission of ending hunger in Maryland.
In honor of Volunteer Appreciation Week, we asked some of our weekly volunteers about their experiences and what the issue of hunger means to them.
Though months have passed since Farm to Food Bank Program Coordinator Amy Cawley gleaned the last of the harvest season’s turnips, kale, collard greens, and cabbage from our farm partners’ fields, her work has not ended.
