recognizing our milestone volunteers
Each year, FeedMore WNY recognizes the outstanding volunteers who are reaching milestone anniversaries. Due to the ongoing health crisis, we could not hold a traditional recognition event this year. Instead, we celebrated the accomplishments of these outstanding delivery volunteers with a delivery of our own!
Each volunteer recognized this year is celebrating an anniversary milestone with FeedMore WNY – 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 or 45 years!
Our milestone volunteers also are honored with a plaque, featuring their likeness and name, on our Volunteer Hall of Fame.
Below, find some of the volunteers being honored in 2020!
