VOLUNTEER TESTIMONIAL!

“Hello, my name is David and I’m a retired professor working as a volunteer for Nourish East End. I’ve been volunteering for over 6 months now and have really enjoyed the experience. It’s a great way to help others and to give back to the Community that has offered so much to me and my family over the years. I’ve also enjoyed being part of a terrific team of like-minded individuals (packers, drivers, admin staff) who create an enjoyable and supportive environment that make coming to work a genuine pleasure twice a week!”
