After retiring from driving a school bus for the public school system, he found that stretching a fixed income wasn't always easy. Paul turns to the Foodbank for the fresh produce and food that helps fill the gaps. But he doesn't just receive support, he also gives back, volunteering his time to help other neighbors access those same resources.

And Paul doesn't just come to receive food. Every Tuesday, he volunteers.

With a small parking lot and neighbors arriving for the distribution, Paul helps direct traffic. He also rounds up grocery carts left throughout the site, returning them so they're ready for the next person. He does it all with a smile.

For Paul, it's a simple way to contribute. He has time in retirement, and he believes in helping his neighbors because they would do the same for him. He wants to play a part in making his community a happier place.

His story shows what it looks like when neighbors truly show up for one another.

Volunteer your time, donate food or funds, share resources, or use your voice to help raise awareness about food insecurity in our community.
