Steve Thompson

 
Steve and his wife, Pat, have been volunteering at Emergency Food Network since 2010 when Steve’s company built the planter in our parking lot and painted walls in our warehouse. Now, Steve is a regular presence at EFN, stocking the Nourish/EFN Mobile Food Bank and giving out food to guests.

For Steve, supporting neighbors in need traces back multiple generations. “When my dad was a young man during the depression, his mom never turned anyone away,” Steve said.

Steve supports EFN because “the need for help is probably more than it has ever been in our community.” In addition to brightening the lives’ of others, volunteering makes Steve’s days better too. “When you give of yourself and help others, you gain so much. I feel great for the entire day after working on the mobile food bank.”

When asked about his favorite part about volunteering with EFN, he said: “handing out treats to kids and seeing them smile.”
