High school student Liza started volunteering with her parents at Rainier Valley Food Bank in the early stages of the pandemic. Little did she know she would start volunteering by herself and assist our guests as our organization transitioned to a new location and back to in-person shopping.  

A perfect fit for the fast-paced environment in the distribution center, Lavender is always quick to step in and lend a hand. From passing out fresh produce to making sure everything is running smoothly, she plays an important role in helping feed our community.

LA is undoubtedly one of our most well-known volunteers at RVFB, and if you ask our staff, he's definitely a part of our family. From filling our space with vibrant music, breaking down cardboard, and helping with our Grocery Rescue Program, LA jumps in wherever he can to help, saying hi to friends along the way and welcoming newcomers.
