The Redwood Empire Food Bank is excited to announce that Kathy Sharp will be our March Volunteer of the Month! Kathy is a beloved volunteer that has served over 600 hours over the past 6 years at the Redwood Empire Food Bank. She is well known for serving the community with a smile on her face at the 7 distributions she volunteers at each week. You can usually find Kathy providing traffic support at many of our Santa Rosa and Petaluma food distributions. She has also started training to help Redwood Empire Food Bank staff with checking-in participants and volunteers. She has even traveled as far as Point Arena to volunteer when she heard that the Redwood Empire Food Bank was in need of extra volunteer support. Thank you Kathy for going the extra mile!
