It’s National Volunteer Week and we’d like to salute the volunteers that help the Hugo Good Neighbors Food Shelf fulfill its mission of providing food to families and individuals in need while maintaining their dignity.

In the past year alone, 168 volunteers have given more than 4,600 hours of their time to serving the needs of others. From transporting, sorting, and packaging more than 150,000 pounds of food, to fundraising, promotion and serving families in need, we could not do it without you! Thank you for all that you do!

We are saddened to learn of the untimely passing of our friend and Hugo Good Neighbors Food Shelf volunteer, Randy Kotval. Over the past 5 years, Randy served his neighbors in need in a variety of ways including transporting food donations from area grocery stores, working various shifts at the food shelf, participating in community fundraising events, and lending a helping hand whenever it was needed. We will miss his big smile and his huge heart for giving.
