Harry Wright - Kamloops BC

Volunteers are the heart and soul of the Kamloops Food Bank. In 2009, almost 15,000 volunteer hours were recorded. Volunteers play an intricate part of ensuring the operation runs efficiently and cost effectively.Without the dedication of our volunteers, Kamloops Food Bank would cease to exist.

Harry Wright has been volunteering his time five days a week to the Kamloops Food Bank for the last nine years. A retired nurse, Harry works harder then most people half his age. He takes great pride in the warehouse and his job in the Food Bank. Harry oversees the sorting of the produce collected through our FoodShare program as well as directing volunteers in our breakdown room.

Over the years, Harry has become a permanent fixture at the Food Bank. He is quick to say good morning and share with you his latest joke. Harry always has a sparkle in his eye and is truly a wonderful representation of a volunteer that is a benefit to this community as well as to the Kamloops Food Bank.

Through Harry's dedication, positive attitude and strong work ethics, many have benefitted from knowing Harry and working along side him. Even now, when Harry is at home recovering from knee surgery, he is interested in how things are going and counting the days until the Doctor allows him to drive so that he can come in and help out.

Volunteers like Harry make it possible for not-for-profit agencies the flourish.
