Welcome to Food Forward’s Hot Seat!
Where we ask up to 10 rapid-fire questions to answer with onlyone word
(or as few words as possible).
Before we get started, tell us a bit about yourself…
I am a Glean Team Leader who started volunteering with Food Forward in January 2020. I have always enjoyed learning about food, and I get excited about the fruits and vegetables that each season brings. I can spend hours working in my garden and cooking yummy meals for family and friends. I love that Food Forward recognizes the significance of making fresh produce accessible to all communities.
I started volunteering with family, but now go solo. It’s my escape and time by myself. I’ve become friends with the farmers and the other Glean Team Leaders; it’s a chance to get away from what you know and be immersed in something new.
And now for the hot seat…if you don’t have an answer to a question, you’re welcome to skip it. Have fun!
