Hello, my name is Jamie. About a year and a half ago, I visited the Thursday food giveaway and I immediately felt at home. The people were nice and generous and it meant so much to me because I had been out of work for a while due to a hand injury at my job.

My parents always taught me to help others and, to this day, that plays a huge part of who I am. I not only receive great, nutritious food from the food giveaway, but I am proud to say that I am a dedicated volunteer. I thank the Rescue Mission Alliance Valley Food Bank for providing the food for the giveaway because I am there almost every week. I see first-hand what a blessing it is to the entire community – people of all walks of life.
