On the last day of National Volunteer Week, we're spotlighting Gary, a Project Open Hand volunteer for the last 34 years. After being diagnosed with terminal AIDS in 1992, Gary retired and started delivering meals with us to fill his time.
"The people we were delivering to touched my heart and convinced me this was the work I should continue to do," he says. Today, Gary is a dedicated East Bay Grocery Center volunteer and a living testament to the impact of Project Open Hand.
Gary pens his own story in this special blog post. Check it out at the link in our bio.
