As almost all of the 2026 awards plaques have been presented, it is now important to give a huge thanks to all of the community organizations and Food Bank representatives that came together to support their favorite award winners!
It is a yearly tradition to invite various individuals, including past alumni winners, donors, volunteers, and other community organizations to add a personal touch to graduating interns that have made an extra special impact or connection in their lives. It is truly amazing to see the Food Bank interns use the Food Bank community as a vessel to make connections so strong that the community wants to support them back!
Some wrote cards, some sent gifts, some "endorsed" awards plaques (photos attached), and some did all 3. However, regardless of which option they may have chosen, the fact they cared enough for the Food Bank graduates to make their graduation experience special, is something the Food Bank community will be forever grateful for!
Special Thanks to Santa-Aaron, Santa-Tommy T Teofilak, Rose Tree Fire Company, Music Teacher Mrs Jeanette McCann Verdeur, alumni interns/past award winners James & Nicolas Media Presbyterian Church, Ty Harvey, Thai Hong, Robbie, and all of the others who came together to make the 2026 awards season extra special for those students/interns in their lives!
