Volunteers at Kids’ Food Basket fuel our mission each day through planting, harvesting, prepping, packing, and delivering nourishing food. They drive our success and help all children thrive.
We are so grateful to every single volunteer that engages with us as we would not be able to nourish children to reach their full potential if it wasn’t for their generosity and compassion for their community and neighbors.
This week our volunteer spotlight is Rob Montgomery, who has been a rockstar driver in Muskegon County, especially over the course of the pandemic. Rob procures many of the nutritious items that go into our Sack Suppers, anywhere from 400-700 pounds of healthy food each Monday and Thursday. Rob has been a huge asset to the KFB staff in Muskegon after volunteer shifts are limited due to COVID-19 and staff is doing 100% of onsite packing.
Thank you Rob!
