Grover knows what it feels like to go hungry.
He was homeless once: “I experienced it all, many times,” he says. “To be hungry, to be cold, to be without, to not know what tomorrow’s going to bring. It’s disheartening.”
Now a retired schoolteacher, Grover is committed to helping others who are experiencing food insecurity by volunteering with the Food Bank.
He says volunteering gives him purpose.
“I’ve found that you might have nothing to give but your time,” he says. “Sometimes that’s the best thing that you can give.”
“The Food Bank is a wonderful place to be a part of. People come here from all walks of life, and they all have their own story. I feel like I am in a position now to let other people know that there is hope in this world.”
