It’s always great to give back to your community, especially during these difficult times, and June Cutter has been doing just that.
With all of the volatility in the economy, food banks have seen a huge increase in people who need food, and they need more volunteers to keep up with the demand.
Cutter and many other good samaritans have been spending time at the San Diego Food Bank, helping to provide nutritious food to individuals and families in need.
Wow! San Diegans have the biggest hearts!💚We appreciate all of the volunteers who’ve answered the Food Bank’s call by registering online to help fill vacant shifts to ensure that our organization’s mission can continue during the COVID-19 crisis. #Thankful #FeedingHopeTogether pic.twitter.com/aSxPL2ZOw5

Cutter tweeted out that over 8,000 pounds of produce was bagged in one morning that she was there. This shows both the huge need in the community for food as well as the necessity of volunteers to help make it happen.

It’s really nice seeing prospective leaders giving back to the community. It shows that they are as much a part of the community as anyone else and genuinely want to make a positive difference.
June Cutter also serves as an important reminder that there is a way we can give back during this time. Many of us are home from work and school due to COVID-19 and volunteering at a local food bank is a great way to use that extra time. Proper precautions are being taken to ensure that food banks do not contribute to the spread of the virus.
