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!
