MESSAGE FROM MARIE 
Executive Director Marie Jachino
Dear Friends, 

It has been a very busy summer.  We have been experiencing the wonderful bounty of the season:  fresh fruits and veggies
from partnerships with Helping Hands Produce, Elk Grove Community Garden, Community Garden at Pt. Pleasant Church 
and so many local gardeners across our service area.  We are so pleased to have the chance to work with so many great growers.  

At the end of our fiscal year, July 31, we made a difference in the lives of more than 56,000 people struggling with hunger by
providing more than 530,644 meals. We expanded new food delivery methods with our mobile distribution programs to
reach seniors, families and neighborhoods that may lack access to other food resources.  I'm inspired by the passion of our volunteers and our caring community.  

We have 45 years of service to celebrate this next year and our work would not be possible without such dedicated friends willing to donate and support our mission.  Together we make a difference!  Enjoy the rest of the summer and thank you again for your continued support.

Warmest regards,
Marie

Volunteer Profile
JEANIE COPPOLA 






























Well over 10 years Jeanie has been a volunteer for the Elk Grove Food Bank!
And are we lucky to have her!

Jeanie had retired from EGUSD after 30 
years of being a school nurse and counselor at McClatchy & Elk Grove High School's. She was looking for some volunteer work to do. 

Jeanie's four children were all raised in Elk Grove and attended Elk Grove High School. She has 10 Grandchildren and 2 Great Grandchildren! To keep up with her grand kids Jeanie exercises everyday at 7:00 am. She either walks with friends, does Zumba 
or goes to curves. 

Along with having fun here at home Jeanie loves to travel!  Her favorite trip was to Uganda where she volunteered at an HIV & AIDS clinic for a month. She stayed n Kampala with her friends that set up the experience for her.

When asked what she her favorite thing about volunteering at the food bank is she was quick to reply with "I love the other volunteers! They are so nice! And I love our clients too!"

Jeanie we couldn't do it without you! 
We love you too!
