Antonina joined ExtraFood.org 16 months ago and has been a huge supporter of our mission! She has owned the regular Nugget Markets Tiburon-to-Marin City food trip for well over a year, and has recovered 11,000+ pounds of food while completing 53 food trips involving a number of donors and recipient partners! This week she graciously agreed to take extra time on her Nugget Markets trip and be filmed by the KPIX-TV crew. We’re grateful to Antonina for being such a reliable, dependable and all-around great volunteer!
