FBSJ Volunteer of the Month is a Master on the Mic
2012 is already shaping up to be an exciting year. The operations staff has bee handling a record number of orders with fewer employees than last year. The Programs Department is on a roll. Our stats are almost completely updated. And the Mac Off in January was magnificent.
Mac Off was uber successful in part thanks to the bubbly Emcee skills of Kathleen Carr. She kept the event on schedule and charmed guests with her personality. In 2011, she contributed 214 hours of her time to Food Bank of South Jersey. One of her proudest achievements to date has been entering about 5,000 accounts into the Hope Mobile database (To date, 10,984 households have been entered). Thanks to her speedy fingers, these people received their Hope Mobile membership cards promptly.
Kathleen Carr was born in New Jersey, went to school in New Jersey, and works in New Jersey! She is a true South Jersey Girl! Kathleen is a proud graduate of St. John’s Catholic grammar school, Collingswood High School, and Rutgers University, Camden where she obtained a Bachelor’s in Political Science and a Master’s in Public Policy. She is a proud Human Resources generalist with work experience in the NJ Court System, NJ Library System and several NJ Executive Branch Departments – when she is not volunteering.
The loves of her life are her husband Frank, the three funniest cats in NJ – Bob, John-David and William – along with Twilight (Team-Edward), chocolate, potatoes and scrapple (remember born in Jersey). Always trying to find ways to increase the joy in her life, she reminds herself that “what we don’t feed becomes weak and dies”. Don’t feed the negativity around you. Since becoming part of FBSJ the statement also keeps her focused on the larger community-meaning the statement holds: The responsibility to feed our South Jersey community whether it be with food, prayers or laughter.
