The Food Brigade is pleased to announce that our President and co-founder, Karen DeMarco, has been chosen as the 2023 winner of the AARP Andrus Award for Community Service in New Jersey. The Award, named for AARP's founder, Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, is the organization's most prestigious and visible volunteer award. It recognizes individuals who enrich their communities in ways that are consistent with AARP's purpose, vision and commitment to volunteer service, and that inspire others to volunteer.
In AARP's words: "We could not be more honored to recognize a volunteer who truly reflects Dr. Andrus’ motto - 'to serve, not to be served' - our 2023 AARP New Jersey Andrus Award recipient, Karen DeMarco."
Congratulations and a huge thank you to Karen for all of her work on behalf of the food insecure in New Jersey!
