10th Anniversary Celebration: Tuesday, September 27, 2022
We gathered to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Hope Pantry. With 10 years of service comes change and growth. The Pantry has expanded into a new space on Pearl Street and a ceremonious ribbon cutting by City Councilwoman, Lauren Folkerts, marked the event. John Tayer, President of the Boulder Chamber of Commerce was our vibrant emcee, keeping the spotlight on our beloved volunteers at this lively event. Arden Hooper, for whom the pantry is named, was in attendance as well.
The celebration continued with Donna Barela receiving the President’s Volunteer Service Award in the category of Lifetime Achievement for donating over 4,000 hours of her time at the Pantry. It is a pleasure to see Donna and her husband Dan who both volunteer several times a week. Donna’s valuable contributions in accounting and fundraising have made a tremendous impact. She is an absolute delight to have in the office and we love her sense of humor!
