Leslie Saloki has been volunteering at Food Share for about a year, often bringing her high school son along. “I feel like food and shelter are the most essential things people need,” she says. “Volunteering here is my way to make an impact in the community and show young people the importance of helping others.”
Even as a working professional, Leslie sometimes relies on Food Share herself. Rising grocery costs make meal planning a challenge. “When I go to the store, my first focus is budget,” she explains. “I look for sales and discounts to provide healthy, nourishing food for my family.”
She emphasizes the value of fresh, local produce. “Healthy food is essential at every age,” Leslie shares. “It supports strong families, helps prevent chronic illness, and builds a more productive society. Having access to this food keeps our community strong and healthy.”
To donors, she offers heartfelt gratitude: “Thank you for your donations. You’re making an impact not just on individuals, but on society as a whole. Every little bit helps, and it keeps our community strong.”
