Food Bank of the Rockies enjoys many volunteers passing through Colorado from other parts of the country, but it’s not often we get to meet them on their honeymoon. Tim and Carrie-Lynn are no strangers to food banking. They met while volunteering at Greater Chicago Food Depository, a fellow Feeding America food bank. Now they’re both employed by the organization and even held their wedding reception in the food bank’s community room.
They love the mountains and decided to visit Colorado for their honeymoon. On their way back to the airport, they had a few extra hours to spare and since Food Bank of the Rockies was right along the route, they spent their morning volunteering with us.
Carrie-Lynn is a big believer in giving back. She coordinates volunteers at the Chicago food bank and also volunteers through the White Sox Volunteer Corps. Carrie-Lynn shared that not only does she make a difference for the people and organizations she helps; she also gets so much joy back in return for herself.
Thank you Tim and Carrie-Lynn for sharing your time with us during your honeymoon and for emblemizing the spirit and dedication of volunteers everywhere who help make the world a much better place. We wish you many happy years together!
