Names:Terry Rounds and David Brinker
Hometown:Cleveland, OH
What they do to give back:
The Greater Cleveland Food Bank recently recognized Terry Rounds and David Brinker as the 2014 *Volunteers of the Year. *These two men have given hundreds of hours in service to their fellow Northeast Ohioans, going above and beyond all expectations. Both retirees, they began their volunteer journey in the distribution center sorting and repackaging donated food. Each finally found his niche on the streets, helping the Food Bank's outreach team with pop-up clinics where staff will literally set up a tent on a street corner distributing fresh produce. The level of commitment exhibited by these volunteers is truly inspiring to our clients and staff. Thank you, Terry and David, for all you do to help your neighbors in need!
