Volunteer

Donna Anderson

We love our volunteers! We are so thankful for their selfless service. Without them we wouldn’t be able to accomplish nearly as much or have as great of an impact.

Donna Anderson was first introduced to GO Pantry at Crossroads Church. She started helping in the Spring of 2021 and never misses an opportunity to help. Donna is always one of the first people to sign up when we have volunteer opportunities.

Donna has such a faithful and giving heart. When asked why GO Pantry’s mission is important to her, she cited two bible verses:
“Blessed is he who is generous to the poor.” (Proverbs 14:21)
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35)
We are so grateful that Donna has chosen to share her kind heart with GO Pantry and the children we serve.

We weren’t surprised to learn that Donna was an avid runner for about 40 years. While she says she now mostly walks, she runs circles around all of us at the warehouse! We appreciate you more than you know, Donna. Many thanks for all of the time you have spent helping GO Pantry.

Debbie Schroeder
We love our volunteers! We are so thankful for their selfless service. Without them we wouldn’t be able to accomplish nearly as much or have as great of an impact.
Debbie Schroeder was first introduced to GO Pantry through a co-worker at Yealey Elementary. She began seeing first hand the impact that GO Pantry had on students and wanted to get more involved.
Debbie’s favorite part about volunteering at GO Pantry is the fellowship. When asked about her time working with GO Pantry she said, “I love the fellowship. The joy that fills your space is palpable. It energizes me and gives me purpose.”
When Debbie isn’t volunteering, she loves making crafts, gardening and being outside. Her love of nature and the outdoors is taking her on a new adventure. She and her husband recently moved to Hilton Head Island. We are so sad to see her go, but know she will continue share her kind heart with others. Best of luck, Debbie! 💚
Carol McDaniel

We love our volunteers! We are so thankful for their selfless service. Without them we wouldn’t be able to accomplish nearly as much or have as great of an impact.

Carol McDaniel first heard about GO Pantry when her church, First Church of Christ, held a food drive for us several years ago. We have been blessed to have her as one of our faithful volunteers ever since! As a retired nurse, Carol is a natural caretaker.  Her care and compassion are reflected in her service. When we asked Carol why she feels called to volunteer with us she said,  “To know that children in our community have such a need is so sad.  It is such a blessing that Go Pantry is here to aid in that need.” When Carol isn’t volunteering, she enjoys spending time with her children and 5 grandchildren. She also enjoys playing pickleball and traveling…she even traveled to Kenya on a mission trip! Carol says that one of her favorite things about volunteering at GO Pantry is the people. She has made some great friendships through her service. Carol, we are blessed to have you as a friend and GO Pantry supporter! Thank you!

Tom Barth

We love our volunteers! We are so thankful for their selfless service. Without them we wouldn’t be able to accomplish nearly as much or have as great of an impact.

Tom Barth started volunteering at GO Pantry during the summer of 2020. He was first introduced to GO Pantry through a food drive at his church, First Church of Christ, and he’s been volunteering with us ever since!

Tom has a true love for children and feels called to carry out God’s work through helping children in any way he can. He not only volunteers at GO Pantry, but several other area organizations as well. Tom says, “I love working with kids, especially the younger ones, and feel blessed that God gave me this gift to minister to children for His honor and glory. I tell people that retirement is the best job I ever had. And I’m working for the best boss possible, God. I never fail to leave my “jobs” with a smile on my face.” We can attest to this first hand. Tom always brings a positive attitude (along with strong muscles to help us lift heavy boxes) for which we are forever grateful!

When Tom isn’t volunteering, he enjoys spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren. Thank you, Tom, for including GO Pantry in the many ways you serve God and your community.
