Volunteer Spotlight: Lynn K

After Lynn retired from a fulfilling career in nursing, she wanted to find a new way to provide service and support to her community.

“I missed the connection with others,” she explained.

Lynn signed up to become a FeedMore WNY home-delivered meal volunteer, delivering nutritious food and friendship to Niagara Falls residents who are homebound.

For many community members who rely on FeedMore WNY’s home-delivered meal program, their volunteer may be the only person they see or speak with that day. That is why FeedMore WNY is so fortunate to have volunteers like Lynn who provide well-being checks and companionship for the people they serve.

“I think making a difference in this world has to start locally,” Lynn said.

For Lynn, making an impact occurs in the quiet moments of service.

“It’s simple things like remembering a doctor visit and asking them how it went, bringing their garbage cans in, and just being present when you are with them – giving them more than the meals,” she said.
