MARY CONNORS
Volunteer
Los Angeles Regional Food Bank
Mary Connors is passionate about providing food relief to as many people in LA County as possible. As someone who experienced food insecurity as a child, she doesn’t want anyone to face hunger. For over 12 years, Connors has been a volunteer at the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. She not only helps sort, glean and package food at the Food Bank’s warehouses; she also volunteers her time at drive-through food distributions.
Connors participates monthly in the food distributions at Clara Street Park in Cudahy and the Carson Senior Center in Carson. Additionally, thanks to her expertise and time with the Food Bank, Connors helps other volunteers understand their roles and responsibilities, and makes sure that every food recipient receives the food they need and are treated with dignity and respect. She understands that a large portion of the Food Bank’s work is completed by volunteers.
