Q: What’s your name and what is your volunteer role at Every Meal?
Hi, my name is Katie. I am an admin volunteer here at Every Meal, and this month is my two-year anniversary volunteering here.
Q: What led you to volunteer with Every Meal?
I was inspired to volunteer at Every Meal because I participated in a packing event at my church years ago, and I learned that about 20% of kids in Minnesota are food insecure. I also worked for most of my career in the food industry, so I was highly motivated to help Every Meal solve the mission of fighting child hunger.
Q: What’s your favorite family food tradition?
A family food tradition that’s special to our family is our Christmas dinner is always honey-baked ham and baked mac and cheese. Thanks to my grandma, we’ve been doing that for decades.
Our Admin Assistants, like Katie, are often the first welcoming face visitors see at our Roseville warehouse. They help greet everyone at our front desk and work on various tasks behind-the-scenes from data entry to special projects. Learn more about this role here.
