Retirees find meaning volunteering at Feed More: 'Feeding people is the most basic human need'
Table of Contents
Feed More's Community Kitchen produces up to 2,000 meals daily, primarily for Meals on Wheels recipients, with volunteers finding meaning in their service to the community.
The gleaming facility is staffed by dozens of volunteers who form an assembly line that produces meals which benefit both recipients and the volunteers themselves.
"After I retired, I wanted to do something meaningful, and I know that feeding people is the most basic human need that you have," volunteer Brenda Johnson said. "So this was a natural place for me to come."
'Meaning' is a theme you'll hear often among the several dozen volunteers making this kitchen hum.
"It's a way of me giving back to the community, and that's a passion of mine," volunteer Kimberly Brown said. "You know, whether it's doing this or out on the street, giving food back to the community."
