Harvest of Hope has begun a new program we call VIP Volunteer for a Day. We realize that not everyone who wants to volunteer can dedicate time each month to be a helper on our food rescue van. So, we are reaching out to individuals and organizations to find volunteers for a day. These volunteers are Very Important Persons for Harvest of Hope because they are helping us accomplish our mission to provide food for those who are food-insecure in our county.

Washington State College of Ohio stepped up in a big way with this initiative, and 18 employees volunteered to be part of the program. WSCO is one of our delivery locations, and they are very engaged with serving their student population through their on-campus food pantry. We appreciate their dedication and willingness to allow employees an opportunity to serve as Harvest of Hope VIP Volunteers for a Day.

On Wednesday, May 6, Michelle Long became our first VIP Volunteer. Michele has been at WSCO for over five years. She works with two TRIO programs, Upward Bound and Talent Search, and spends much of her time in the local schools helping students find a successful path to college and beyond. Michelle wanted to be a volunteer for a day because she just likes volunteering whenever she can.

Michelle and Dave Miller, a HoH Board member and regular volunteer driver, picked up food at Giant Eagle and Walmart and then delivered to the WSCO Food Pantry, the Salvation Army, and Hopewell Health.

Thank you, Michelle, for being our first VIP Volunteer for a Day!
