Beth Straub is a dedicated volunteer who’s been a cherished part of Shepherd’s Pantry for over 20 years! Beth first saw a call for volunteers on a flyer at St. Matthew’s Church in the early 2000’s and felt inspired to get involved in her local community. Since then, she’s been a consistent, compassionate presence every Monday on Distribution Day.
Beth began by picking up essentials like diapers and paper goods, and even braved the chilly meat pickups. Today, she’s lovingly known as the “Bag Lady”, a title she wears with pride, as she gathers grocery bags from the warehouse and distributes them at Windham Presbyterian Church.
Beth treasures the camaraderie among the volunteers and the warm connections she’s built with clients over the years. She says, “All volunteers are family who work together, and it’s a wonderful experience.” We’re so grateful for Beth’s heart and unwavering commitment. She plans to keep volunteering for as long as she can and Shepherd’s Pantry is lucky to have her. Thank you for your dedication and service to Shepherd’s Pantry!
