As Demand Grows, So Do We

Bob Kasieta, Board President

If change is the constant of any vibrant organization, BPNN is vibrant indeed! We are again planning an expansion of our facility to include additional warehouse, cooler, and freezer space. No doubt, you have read elsewhere how BPNN is on track for yet another record year, serving more than 80,000 guests this year. Records bring celebration and sadness – joy that we can help so many and deep regret that in our world of plenty so many still suffer.

Increased demand requires increasing supply. And BPNN will always do all we can to supply the needs of our community. We might fall short because the needs are vast. But we shall never stop trying. Stayed tuned for more details about the expansion in coming months. We are in the early planning stages. In the meantime, please consider volunteering at BPNN. Often, we struggle to fill all shifts. Please go to BPNN.org and sign up to help. Summer is a busy time, but please try to make time for those who desperately need our help. Just a few hours of your time each week would be enormously helpful. And volunteering is an enjoyable way to get to know your neighbors while doing good.

Thank you for all you do to make BPNN a place that radiates the joy of our community and that shows how good and caring and decent people can be in a time that sorely needs your example. I wish you pleasant early summer days.Bob
