National Volunteer Week is an opportunity for us to thank the many volunteers we rely on to serve our community. In addition to groups, some individuals choose to contribute their time and talent to Foodlink and our work. Some come for just a few hours while others volunteer every week. Alex Pierney, a retiree from Rochester, has been volunteering every week for the past two years. In that time, Alex has assisted with many tasks ranging from sorting food to preparing mailings to putting together supplies for our annual Check Out Hunger campaign. He says he isn’t doing this for the recognition, but we appreciate his ongoing support and dedication to our cause.
