Volunteer Spotlight: Deb and Jud Carver

In July 2020 after COVID brought changes in MOM's Food Pantry operations, Deb and Jud Carver found a new way to volunteer. They now deliver food three times a week to households who are not able to come into the Food Pantry.

Creating Stability for Our Neighbors

Michelle first contacted MOM to ask about getting access to the food pantry. In a shaky voice, Michelle explained she was caring for a sick family member, working part-time and attending school full-time. No matter how hard she tried, stability always seemed just out of reach. With your help, MOM was able to help Michelle through this crisis. With your continued support, we can do more than provide emergency assistance. We can help families in our community reach stability.

Thank You Volunteers of Ten Years or More

Did you know that we have over 50 volunteers who have been at MOM for at least ten years? Wow! We are especially thankful to these long-time volunteers who have stuck with us through the years. Their commitment helps us provide steady services to families in our community.

Thank You MOM Volunteers!

It's Volunteer Appreciation week. We are so grateful for our amazing volunteers!
