I started with MOM this summer after I volunteered with Second Harvest at the Alliant Energy Center during the pandemic. I volunteer in the food pantry – I greet guests, answer questions and stock shelves. Every day is going to be different. As long as I’m able, I enjoy helping people in need – it’s fulfilling to be able to do that. I appreciate how our team is a mix of experienced volunteers and newcomers because we help each other. It’s an opportunity to meet people who have a common interest that you have, which is to help.

Supporting MOM financially brings me real joy. I’ve seen the relief on people’s faces when they are offered services that will help feed their families, help settle a past due utility or rent bill, help fund a security deposit, get them to a medical appointment or help them with a household chore.
