Volunteer Spotlight: Cheung

April 14, 2026 /

Our April Volunteer of the Month, Cheung L., has been a true force for good since he joined ExtraFood in September 2025. He first learned about us through Self Help for the Elderly, and it did not take long for Cheung to become one of our most reliable and enthusiastic rescuers! His favorite pickups include Andronico’s, Safeway on 7th Avenue, and Proper Foods California, and he especially enjoys delivering to Chi Sing on Taraval Street, the Stanford Hotel, and RACS. Cheung says volunteering gives him the chance to meet and interact with people while serving the community. The recipients are always thrilled to see him arrive with his impressive hauls. Cheung often completes at least two rescues a day, and sometimes as many as eight! When he is not rescuing food, he enjoys working, listening to pop and jazz, traveling, walking, and going to the gym so he can stay fit for all those rescues. Cheung rarely says no when we ask for help, and his generosity and energy make a real difference every single day. He is truly a superstar, and we are so grateful to have him as part of the ExtraFood community.
