Volunteer of the Month: Old Republic | October 2023
Each month Hunger Task Force is honored to recognize an individual or organization that goes above and beyond in their service to the organization.
Hunger Task Force relies on the help of more than 16,000 generous volunteers every year. From food sorting and building healthy food boxes for seniors to helping individuals shop the Mobile Market and harvesting at The Farm, volunteers help Hunger Task Force feed people today and support our work in ending future hunger.
Old Republic is focused on going above and beyond to give back to the community, and the organization has become a regular presence in our Volunteer Action Center and at annual food drive events – like the Wisconsin State Fair. In the last year, over 50 Old Republic volunteers have served nearly 250 hours with Hunger Task Force. We couldn’t be happier to honor our friends at Old Republic as Volunteer(s) of the Month for October 2023.
