Listen Later

Ever wonder how a simple act of kindness can change a life? That's what we're exploring today with our inspiring guest, Kellie Barron, the program manager for Tri-City Volunteers, an organization in Fremont, California that is truly making a difference. Hear her share their unique approach to food distribution, and how the organization brings joy with their daily distribution of food and care around the city and through events like the annual Halloween and backpack distributions and their upcoming holiday toy party.

Listen with us as we uncover the evolution of Tri-City Volunteers, from its humble beginnings sparked by a school teacher's resolve to provide every child with food and clothing, to its current status as a volunteer-driven organization.  Kellie also lets us in on the day-to-day running of the organization, from catering to hundreds in the community daily to the sources of their resources.

The Tri-City Volunteers work tirelessly to meet the ever-increasing needs of the diverse Fremont community, which includes seniors on fixed incomes and college students struggling to make ends meet. Whether you're a local or someone looking for some inspiration, take a moment to listen to this episode. It's a heartening reminder of how compassion and volunteerism can truly change lives and communities.
