SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – The need for food security is going strong still a year after the onset of the pandemic, described San Diego Food Bank’s President and CEO Jim Floros with KUSI’s Elizabeth Alvarez on Good Morning San Diego.
Volunteer Appreciation Week was last week.
Floros emphasized that his food bank has had no problem attracting volunteers, whose free labor allows more donor dollars to go directly to services and feeding hungry San Diegans.
Unlike other cities, San Diego has not had to resort to using the National Guard to work at food banks because of the volunteers.

Victim services volunteers serve our community well
Volunteer Appreciation Week is April 18-24 and I think it is important to recognize the amazing Victim Advocate volunteers with the Grand Junction Police Department Victim Services Unit.
These members of our community have completed a very in-depth 40-hour academy that trained them in all the ways they can support victims of crime in Grand Junction. They then cover four, 12-hour shifts each month to ensure that no victims are left unserved.
In the very unsteady and unpredictable world we are living in, and with the increase in crime we have experienced over the past months, Victim Advocates are invaluable in the service they offer.
