Volunteer Phyllis Kirschenbaum: Keeping Her “Monday Morning Appointment” for 30 Years

Phyllis Kirschenbaum first showed up at God’s Love We Deliver to volunteer in February of 1993. Her inspiration? She tells us, “I wanted to do something to provide nutritious and beautiful meals to people living with illness after struggling to do so for my sister in her battle with cancer.”

Thirty years later, Phyllis still shows up bright and early for her 6:30 a.m. Monday shift (that’s right – every Monday!) where she has made wonderful friends and gets a very good feeling to start her week.

And Phyllis is an influencer! A dear friend for forty years has joined the 9 a.m. shift, after hearing from Phyllis how much she loves God’s Love. They part ways after a kiss hello and a chat over a few sips of coffee — Phyllis heads to the Volunteer Lounge to relax after a shift well done and her friend takes off to the kitchen to do the extraordinary work our volunteers do, day in and day out, week after week.

We thank Phyllis for all that she has done and all that she continues to do for our clients.
