Butch & Peggy are two core members of our Friday morning Packer/Stocker crew - working hard each and every Friday to make sure home deliveries run smoothly. They also take a delivery route each Friday and help deliver food boxes to some of our houseless clients! And if that was not helpful enough they take the goat food scraps along on their way out...amazing.
So far in 2022 Butch & Peggy have served over 130 hours! They truly help in every way and we are so grateful to have them as part of our volunteer team.
1. Are you from the valley? If not, where? and what brought you here?
We were both born in Albuquerque and prior to moving to Grand Junction we lived in Colorado Springs. We were looking for a place to retire and when Peggy's parents moved to Grand Junction we decided to move too.
2. What is your favorite thing about the Grand Valley?
The friendliness of a small town, the spectacular natural setting and the great climate that is conducive to outdoor activities year round.
3. What do you like to do when you’re not at the Food Bank?
We are avid cyclists, skiers and pickleball players. The climate here is perfect for all three activities. We have made so many friends who share our love of the outdoors.
4. What motivated you to get involved in the Food Bank, and how long have you been volunteering with us?
We have been working at the food bank for about 3 years. Because we worked in restaurants when younger and have a passion for food and cooking, we were looking for a way to serve the community that involved food. The food bank was and is the perfect fit for us.
5. Anything else you’d like to share with the rest of the awesome volunteer team?
We came to the food bank to help those in the community that are struggling with food insecurity but look forward to working every week because of the staff and other volunteers that we have had the pleasure to work with. We appreciate the honor but everyone that we work with is equally deserving of this award.
Thank you for all that you do Shaws!
