Volunteer Spotlight: Bob Forte
For more than seven years, Bob Forte has been a consistent and compassionate presence at Food Bank of Iowa. Motivated to give back, Bob saw volunteering as a way to help Iowans facing food insecurity.
“I’ve been pretty fortunate,” Bob said. “This is just my way of chipping in and helping others move toward a better life.”
Through his weekly shifts with a dedicated Tuesday morning team, Bob has gained a deeper appreciation for what he has—and for the needs of others in his community.
“No one person can do everything, but everybody can do something,” he said. “You’re part of a team, and we’re all working toward the same goal: eliminating food insecurity in Iowa.”
