Our volunteers help keep the Food Bank running. Each year around 19,000 volunteers donate over 90,000 volunteer hours in product recovery, at the St. John food pantry, through our mobile pantries, at our events and in our offices. We couldn’t be more grateful, so we’re thrilled to honor our Volunteer Leader of the Quarter, Jack Harrington.
Since 2011, Jack has volunteered nearly 1,000 hours in both product recovery and the St. John Community Food Center. He has become the backbone of St. John and is a permanent and reliable volunteer that is there whenever the Food Bank needs him.
Jack is retired and, a few years ago, he was looking for a worthwhile organization. Lucky for us, he thought of the Food Bank.
He first volunteered in our product recovery area, but when the St. John pantry opened, he decided to volunteer there since it is closer to his home. Jack says he just fell in love with the St. John staff, volunteers and individuals served at the food distributions.
Over the years, Jack has continued to devote his time, rain or shine (and even ice), to supporting the mission of the Food Bank at the St. John Center. He treats the St. John clients as extended family and works diligently to provide them with healthy options and a warm smile.
Jack says the best thing about volunteering at the Food Bank is “seeing how your time directly affects those in need.”
“People are very grateful and sometimes even cry when you help them out,” he says.
Agency Relations Representative Kara Prior says the Food Bank is “blessed” to have Jack as a Volunteer Leader.
“St. John’s would not be the same without Jack’s positive attitude and remarkable work ethic,” she says.
We completely agree and are more than honored to recognize Jack Harrington as our Volunteer Leader of the Quarter.
