Community Spotlight:
volunteersRob R.

Rob has volunteered for ExtraFood for 18 months, has recovered almost 12,000 pounds of food and has just completed his 100th food trip! Rob literally came to the rescue this past week by jumping in, at the last minute, to back up another volunteer and help move a humongous amount of donated food to multiple recipients—twice! That was added to his regular trips including Andronico’s, Branson, the Corte Madera Famers’ Market and Marin General Hospital for a total of 8 trips. Wow! We’re grateful for Rob’s long-term and ongoing commitment to ExtraFood and the partners and people we serve.
