April 2023: The Latest from PORCH

• First-time volunteer David pulled double duty this month, checking expiration dates and transporting bags! 

• “My kids actually help, and we have had some great convos during pickup. And our neighborhood usually donates a trunk full, so they are very generous and caring people. Makes my heart full to help others and give back – and love teaching my children to do the same.” We love this feedback we recently received from a Neighborhood Coordinator! Neighborhood Coordinators organize monthly food collections for a neighborhood or street. They are responsible for spreading the word about the designated day for the monthly food drives, picking up donations from neighborhood porches, and getting the non-perishable bags of food to a central location.

• A little rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of Rosie and Lizzy as they unloaded cars at our last sort.
