🥹 Jude Medeiros, a dedicated volunteer at The Center’s Community Food Bank, shares a powerful insight: “You can’t always tell when someone is hungry, but when they wait in line, sometimes for several hours, to get two bags of groceries, you know they need help. These folks are our neighbors, our friends, our co-workers. It could be one of us someday. Who knows?” 💗 👉 Let’s help ensure that no one in our community goes hungry.
