What keeps someone coming back to volunteer for over a decade?

For Kim Dallape, it’s simple: people.

Kim has been volunteering with Food Share since 2014, showing up month after month to support seniors and neighbors facing food insecurity. In this heartfelt story, she shares what she’s seen, who she’s met, and why this work matters so deeply.

“This is a critical, critical need for a lot of people. Without it, they don’t eat.”

From building lasting relationships with fellow volunteers to recognizing familiar faces in the community, Kim reminds us that food distribution is about more than meals—it’s about connection, dignity, and care.

“It’s not even the thanks, it’s knowing that you help somebody else.”

Whether it’s packing boxes or greeting families at a distribution, every role makes a difference.

🧡 Join us. Volunteer. Give. Be part of the impact.
