Sarah speaks with our former AmeriCorps VISTA member, Ann Do, about her year of service and the start of her nonprofit career. She discusses the impact that AmeriCorps has made on her and the impact that she has made at the Ohio Association of Foodbanks. She has already started her full-time position at one of the food pantries within our network, Westerville Area Resource Ministry, and we cannot wait to see the impact she makes on the children that she serves!
