Meet Stephen Rogers - A Volunteer Building A Legacy of Service

We're thrilled to shine a spotlight on one of our incredible volunteers — Stephen Rogers! Stephen brings a lifetime of experience and compassion to his service. A retired residential homebuilder, Stephen is now a dedicated and familiar face at Urban Recipe, where he volunteers regularly to support local food access efforts. But his commitment to serving others doesn’t stop there — he also travels the globe giving back through a service program with Peachtree Presbyterian Church. Whether he's lending a hand close to home or across continents, Stephen's heart for service inspires us all!

Meet Gayle Kahn: An extraordinary volunteer and Founder's Award Recipient

We’re excited to spotlight one of our amazing volunteers, Gayle Kahn. In April, Gayle was awarded our Founders Award, and has volunteered with our longest running program - Discovery at Parklane Elementary School! Outside of volunteering, she was the regional training manager for Prudential Real Estate and Relocation. She’s emerged as a leader in everything she does, and is truly as she describes: kind, extroverted and active! Her passion for giving back to our community is amazing!
