Volunteer Spotlight: Linda Koch
All of us at Food For Thought are so thankful for the volunteers that help with all of our programs! Today, we would like to thank Linda Koch for all of her help that she has provided in the Emeril Lagasse Full Circle kitchen. Please read below to find out what it means to Linda to volunteer at FFT:
After retiring two years ago from PepsiCo in Dallas, Linda moved to Emerald Coast. It was important to her to remain busy and to get involved in the community while she was retired. When Linda learned about Food For Thought Outreach, she knew that she had to get involved, and she loves that she is able to help kids to cook at the Santa Rosa Beach pantry, but her time volunteering has also showed her how important it is to get involved and give back as a retired person
At a fund raising event Linda attended over a year ago, is when Linda first signed up to help in the Full Circle Kitchen. She knew that she has enough knowledge about cooking and time to help, so decided to sign up that night.
Linda has been volunteering with Food For Thought for a year and a half and enjoys her time cooking with the kids. She said that "seeing the excitement in their eyes when they are able to create food that tastes delicious to them," is what she enjoys the most. And she has noticed that it builds the kid's confidence when they see how easy it is to make some of the food dishes that are taught to them and hopes that it gives the kids energy to try and cook more outside of the FFT Full Circle Kitchen. "When I hear them tell their friends they can’t wait to come back next week, I know we’ve done something good that day," said Linda.
Linda said that ever since she raised her hand at the fundraising event, she has been looking forward to every class that she has taught with the kids!
We are very grateful for you, Linda and all of our volunteers!
