From Harvest to Food Bank Volunteer

Marilyn Berry now at Tri-Area Food Bank

In 2021, Marilyn Berry was always the first person to show up at the Red Hen Garden harvest days. She had the system down of what to cut, pull, trim, wash, package, weigh... new volunteers could slide in and be effective workers within minutes under her leadership.

 

This year Marilyn is switching tasks from Grower to Giver of food at the Tri-Area Food Bank.


Thanks for your time at Red Hen, Marilyn, we're happy that Tri-Area is getting such a well versed and excellent worker. Hearts and hands are needed everywhere.

Quimper Grange is located at 1219 Corona Ave, Port Townsend, WA 98368.
