volunteersKaren G.

Karen has been a loyal volunteer with ExtraFood since March 2019, and has completed 55 food trips recovering over 5500 pounds of food! Karen is a regular volunteer that owns a trip from Safeway Terra Linda every Friday. She is an amazing ambassador for ExtraFood as she has created a very strong relationship with the Safeway Terra Linda team. The receiving team all know Karen and look forward to her visits because she knows exactly what to do at their store. She even gave the team her cell phone number in case a large donation pops up that she can assist with!

Karen is always willing to help and gets involved in other areas with ExtraFood in addition to her regular trip. She was one of our “models” from our Extra Food photo shoot this summer and she joined us on our first “volunteer field trip” to New Beginnings last March. Karen delivers food to St. Vincents and Martinelli House and they are most grateful for her kindness and positive attitude. She has made a significant impact on these communities with her commitment to ensuring their needs are met. Thank you Karen, for your loyalty and dedication to ExtraFood and to those you have served in your community!
