Traveling universal banker Dawn Conley visited the FISH of McHenry Food Pantry late last month as part of our Bank on Kindness initiative, dropping off a donation check and lunch for 25 workers and volunteers.

“This was a little bit of a challenge because of the COVID-19 issues, but all participants were willing and able!” Dawn said.

She added that watching the pantry in operation was really something.

“It was amazing — they were so organized,” Dawn said. “It’s basically a small store to assist families with canned, boxed, and dry foods, soaps, toiletries, paper products, and other necessities they may need while in a financial crisis. It was really heartwarming to see all the volunteers — especially since some of them are in a high-risk group for COVID themselves, but still volunteer their time to assist others.”
