Katharine volunteers at the Feeding Hands food pantry, lending her time and strength so that more people can become food secure. Besides physically volunteering at the food pantry, she noticed the diminishing quality of food being donated, whether that be fresh produce or baked goods. The economic downturn also increased the influx of clients to the food pantry. She has been utilizing the resources of local school and bakeries to support Feeding Hands. She was able to successfully connect with Panera Bread to donate its extra breads and pastries, and her advocacy for the food pantry has allowed her to reallocate important resources for its benefit. To have a larger impact beyond her individual effort, she created the Food for Thought club to engage other students in this effort as well.
