This month we are shining the spotlight on volunteer Sue Creech! Sue is from Appleton City and has been a volunteer with the Community Food Pantry of Butler for over 6 years. She currently volunteers as a shopper, helping to select and pack orders for our neighbors when they visit us, making sure they get a variety of food to help get them through each month.
A note written by Sue herself:
Outside of volunteering at the food pantry, I volunteer at my niece's daycare and also at the daycare in Appleton City, MO. I help with my grandchildren. Volunteering at the food pantry gives me a reason to get up and keep moving. My favorite part of volunteering here is shopping for the clients and knowing that they are appreciative of what they receive. It might surprise people how much that is needed, the number of clients the pantry serves each month, and that by volunteering, the pantry is able to purchase more food for clients. By volunteering, I realize how blessed I am. The Bates County food pantry does a good job of giving nutritious food to their clients.
We are so thankful and glad to have Sue on our volunteer team, she is a great lady and an awesome volunteer. We are so lucky to have her assistance every week, helping us combat food insecurity in our community. Sue, you are awesome!
