After retiring roughly 5 years ago, Len Snell heard from friends in the Knights of Columbus about Shepherd’s Pantry. With a truck and a big heart, he showed up one Monday morning and never looked back.
His first day, Suzie Noyles welcomed him with, “You’ve got to have a sense of humor to work here!” That set the tone. From pushing carts to fixing nearly everything that breaks (including most of the wheels on our carts!), Len’s become essential behind the scenes and has earned the nickname, “Mr. Fix-It”!
As a former hockey coach, Len brings his motto “skate to the open ice” to life on Monday Distribution Days: if a need appears, he steps in to help. Whether sorting and handing out produce, repairing the freezer, or parking cars at the Annual Windham Turkey Trot, Len is all in. “It’s a great family of workers,” he says. “Everyone jumps in where they’re needed.”
With roots on a vegetable farm, Len’s right at home choosing the freshest produce at the NH Food Bank—and maybe discovering a new veggie or two along the way!
Len, we’re so thankful for your hard work, heart, and humor. Shepherd’s Pantry runs better because of you!
