Fighting food insecurity, and building community at the Bay View Community Center

Sharon Sadowski knows Bay View better than most. She's lived just a block away from the neighborhood community center for nearly 40 years.

"I'm always hanging out here, I'm here quite a bit,” said Sharon Sadowski, Lead Food Pantry Volunteer, Bay View Community Center.

She says volunteering was always her retirement plan.

“There's no ‘Oh poor you,’ there. They're just our friends and neighbors and we're happy to run this grocery store for them,” said Sadowski.
