If you know Roger Toupin, you know family means everything to him. As Toupin #13 in a family that now includes at least 134 members, Roger brings that same deep sense of connection and care to Shepherd’s Pantry.
A longtime member of St. Matthew’s Church for over 40 years, Roger first began supporting the Pantry through donations. After retiring in 2020, his wife, Sue (Toupin #33), “volunteered” him for Monday distributions and we’re so grateful she did! Since joining Shepherd’s Pantry in September 2024, Roger faithfully picks up frozen meat, fresh produce, and other items from our warehouse, delivers them to the Windham Presbyterian Church for distribution, and returns any remaining items afterward. Through his family business, Toupin Rigging, he even helped transport large equipment donations for our warehouse.
Roger says it best: “It’s always nice to be able to help someone in need. It’s a great group of people.”
As one of our beloved “Professional Delivery Persons,” Roger (like many of our volunteers!) has a grandparent’s heart; always making sure families, especially children, receive a little extra care. We’re so thankful for Roger’s steady hands, generous spirit, and the love he shares with our Shepherd’s Pantry community each week.
