My favorite thing is to be able to welcome new Neighbors on the phone. Because of the pandemic, many people are upset about not being able to meet face-to-face. But for someone new to BACN the phone can make it easier. It’s hard to make that phone call, and people feel shy and worried at first. I like being part of the process when they see how quickly they can get help–that they can call and have food in the same day. I like being able to provide that pleasant surprise.
BACN is the best thing I do!
