Although one objective is to increase access to nutritious food, our Community Meals program is distinct because it equally aims to use communal meals to improve social support networks.

If you’ve ever come to Wayside’s warehouse, there’s a good chance you’ve met our Warehouse Manager, Marcus. He brings many years of experience managing product logistics and using power equipment to bridge the gap between goods and people. This experience is applied when supporting Wayside’s kitchen and warehouse. Marcus is passionate about getting to know the folks he works with and building rapport and unique relationships. He is also grateful to our community of volunteers. “The volunteers make it all happen,” says Marcus. “I am in awe of all the volunteers I get the opportunity to work alongside. It is inspiring that people are so generous with their time and choose to spend it finding ways to do good for our community.” You’re the man, Marcus! ❤
