ROBERT THOMPSON

Chances are, if you have volunteered at FARSB, you've worked with Robert, and he thanks you for it! When he is not fighting hunger at work, he is fishing or playing darts. Most importantly, one special day a year, he goes by "Santa," red suit and all, for his family!

ROBERT LOERA

Robert (Beto) is the definition of hard work. Not only is he eager to get the job done in his workspace, but he continues to work hard even in his personal life, where he is a father of 4 and a Graduate Student at Cal State San Bernardino. Beto is also active in his church, where he volunteers to feed those in need while sharing scriptures of hope. He says that he is fortunate to work at the food bank and to be able to encourage others not to give up.
