Sherry’s
Story
15 years ago, Sherry was looking for
a way to occupy herself during the
winter months. Her job was part-time
and seasonal, and she wanted to give
back to her community.
“I had a friend, an older lady who has
passed since then, and she went to church
with me. She got to talking about how she
was volunteering at the United Ministries.
It caught my attention, so I started
volunteering when I had the opportunity.”
Ten years later, Sherry is now the
showrunner of United Ministries Food
Bank, a United Way partner agency in
Robertson County. She does so on an
entirely volunteer basis.
“It’s an opportunity to give back to the
community. And I feel very fortunate with
the life I’ve led. I look out and I see so
many people that are struggling and it was
a good opportunity to try to help those
people that were in need.”
While Robertson County might be a
small community, Sherry says the need is
great—and has been more so since the
pandemic hit.
