In The Spotlight: Dave Bruno

Name: Dave Bruno



Occupation: Store Manager with Stop & Shop Supermarkets

Role at Foodshare: Volunteer at the Regional Market

How long have you been with Foodshare? 2 years

How did you first become involved with Foodshare? Through work

Why do you support Foodshare? I attended a work related function at Foodshare and Gloria McAdam spoke. She presented us with a video showing the real people, children and their families, that need the help they receive from Foodshare. It was an awesome experience for me. After the meeting I asked how I could help.

What are you most proud of? My family, wife Kerri, daughter Madison, and son David Jr.

What is your favorite drink? Coffee. It fuels ambition. 

Where does your inspiration/motivation to volunteer come from? As a new dad it became very clear to me the awesome responsibility that comes with being a parent and having to provide both emotionally and physically for your children. I am glad that there is a place where parents can go and get help if they need it to feed their children. Any one of us could find ourselves in that position.

What was the hardest thing you’ve had to learn partnering with Foodshare? The hardest thing I learned partnering with Foodshare is how many people in our community are in need of basic necessities that we as a society take for granted.

Anything you would like to add about your volunteer experience at Foodshare? My experience at Foodshare has been very fulfilling. It is a place where you can feel good about donating your time and know that it is truly making an impact on someones life for the better.
