Volunteer Spotlight: Serving Hope Through Every Meal

Jul 9, 2025

 Serving Hope Through Every Red Shield Lunch Meal

 

Each weekday, a dedicated group of volunteers shows up ready to prepare sandwiches, assemble meals, and make sure every guest receives not only food, but dignity and care. From prepping ingredients to pouring water and greeting each person with a smile, their hands and hearts help nourish hundreds in our community.

 

With food prices continuing to rise, these daily lunches mean more than ever. For some, it may be the only meal they’ll receive that day. For our volunteers, it’s a calling—a chance to give back, one lunch at a time.

“We don’t ask questions. We just show up and serve,” said Amanda. “It’s a small way to give, but it makes a big difference.”

Thanks to their faithful commitment, the Red Shield Lunch continues to be a dependable source of nutrition for individuals, families, seniors, and children facing hunger. Whether behind the sandwich table or organizing supplies, these volunteers are the quiet heroes of our mission.

To every volunteer who prepares, serves, and shows up—you are our spotlight this month and every month. Thank you for being a vital part of Doing the Most Good.
