As part of Hunger Action Month at Feed Ontario, this week as members we are focusing on volunteers. This week they ran a feature volunteer spotlight and our very own, Dominique Wildeboer was one of the province’s highlights. Diane Gris our volunteer coordinator thanks all of our volunteers and congratulates Dominique.  Our volunteers are vital to everything we do here in serving our community.  Due to Covid-19, our volunteer base has expanded and we have been able to continue our efforts in feeding those that need our services without missing a beat, including adding contactless delivery!

Dominique  is a volunteer with the Burlington Food Bank and steps in wherever she is needed, and especially during COVID-19, she helped organize and manage things in the warehouse area, which was crucial as we had gone to a contactless delivery model. She is an incredible asset to the Food Bank — not just as a volunteer when she is in the building, but as an advocate everywhere she goes for the vital work that we do here. After Dominique retired from teaching, she wanted to help out and be active.   She had experience in the food industry and decided the food bank would be a great way to leverage her experience and allow her to help the community.
