What is your favorite memory at Feed More? Laughing with employees.

Where is the coolest place you have traveled to and/or want to travel to? I love the Mojave Desert and the Grand Canyon. I plan on going on a mission trip to Honduras in the spring and I am really looking forward to that.

When you’re not volunteering, what is your favorite thing to do in Richmond? I play in a drum circle every Saturday or Sunday. It is a great way to express yourself.

Why should people volunteer at Feed More? Oh, so many reasons! You help so many people in ways you can’t even imagine. You get to work with so many cool people and you get such a good feeling of hope and accomplishment.
