Thank you Ha for being a part of our volunteer team!! We appreciate you being an in-house substitute and willing to work outside as well to serve our clients. And for also subbing at the last minute when we need someone quick. Your smile and fun personality are enjoyed by everyone who works with you. We are grateful to have you at The Community Food Connection!

Thank you Vickie for being a part of our volunteer team! We appreciate you being a driver as well as doing the receipts too! Getting the data uploaded in the system on time and accurately is important and you are doing a superb job!  Thanks for your commitment to The Community Food Connection.

Yuri Maistrenco is a hard worker who always looks for what needs to be done.  He is eager to help and has gone above and beyond to assist us. From stacking boxes in the cold room to helping with Amazon Fresh deliveries, Sprouts pickups on Sundays, and substituting as a driver, Yuri has been a valuable asset to our organization. We truly appreciated his help during the USPS food drive as well!

Patty has consistently shown an incredible commitment to our team and mission. Whether it’s taking charge on Monday mornings, stepping up to support the Volunteer Coordinator, or crafting clear and creative signs to guide us, Patty's dedication and leadership make a significant impact.  Not only does Patty demonstrate flexibility by adapting to every situation, but she also leads by example, motivating others and ensuring that our team operates smoothly. Thank you, Patty, for your hard work, leadership, and the positive energy you bring to every task!

Kevin is one of our dedicated and hardworking Friday afternoon Team Leaders.  He keeps distribution running smoothly and safely while he always greets each client with a smile.  Kevin also jumps in each week as a substitute driver picking up food from our local grocers.  Most recently, Kevin has assumed responsibility for writing our grant applications.   Our success is due to volunteers like Kevin!

Cas takes responsibility for picking up valuable food from one of our Vons stores twice a week.  And our Driver Coordinator is most appreciative that Cas regularly jumps in to assist as a substitute driver at other stores.  Cas is a pleasure to work  with and is very helpful around our pantry!

Patty wears many hats at the food pantry.  She is one of our talented Wednesday afternoon Team Leaders preparing boxes for distribution.  Patty also leads our Oasis Computer Team and can be found welcoming clients while scanning their ID cards.  Her efforts are also appreciated on our Operations Team as we review procedures and manage our food supply.  We are grateful to have Patty at the CFC!
