Sara Pines was honored this past Sunday for her 22 years of service as founder and director of FDN.  A large and diverse crowd filled the Eagle’s hall to pay tribute to this wonderful woman and celebrate her retirement from FDN.

Sara passes the symbolic basket of food on to Lisa Duggan, the Program Coordinator for FDN in charge of day-to-day operations.

Sara poses with Lisa Duggan, her husband Aaron, and a number of FDN volunteers.
