Food for Greater Elgin is celebrating the work of Michael Kuhn, our outgoing volunteer coordinator, at an outdoor, socially-distanced, reception on Wednesday, August 19, from 4 to 6 p.m.
Kuhn, who has been the volunteer coordinator since November 2019, is leaving Food for Greater Elgin to enter a chaplain’s residency program at Advocate Aurora’s Sherman Hospital. After a year-long training program, he will be a board-certified chaplain. Kuhn completed an internship at the hospital and, as he tells it, “fell in love with helping people in times of their greatest need.”
Of his time at FFGE, he says “I am very sad to leave FFGE because I loved working here with the volunteers and the guests.”
Our Administrative Assistant, Lupe Salazar, will take over the volunteer coordination part of Mike’s work.
