Volunteers Acknowledged: EngAGE’s partner, O.C.’s Second Harvest , delivers pallets of groceries, 2000 lbs twice a month, for seniors who may not qualify for the Food Bank to one of EngAGE’s sites. EngAGE team members divide this food there, then transport it to HPA (and other properties) where individual packages for residents are prepared for distribution by a group of 5-7 resident volunteers. Food Bank/Second Harvest Coordinator Jewel Forga writes: “We offered a volunteer luncheon for our most consistent volunteers which went very well. In addition to lunch, Elaine, Millie, Bruce, Linda, and Leorina were all presented with certificates and had their pictures taken. Elaine told me later that she had a wonderful time and enjoys volunteering with us.”
