James’ passion to help others is inspiring. James has been a dedicated volunteer at the Food Bank over the last three years.

“Food is the one thing that connects us all together,” he said. “Me doing this and filling that need for those families just pushes me to be a better version of myself.”

James is the Corporate Business Representative for Northern Louisiana at Pelican State Credit Union. When he’s not working, he enjoys traveling, cooking and baking for his family.

James loves to care for and nurture things to see them grow into something bigger and better. So, when he learned that there were people in his community who needed help, there was no doubt he would continue volunteering at the Food Bank.

“I feel like time is the most valuable thing to donate because you’re actually here, you see the process and you get more informed on what’s going on,” he said. “It’s a minor thing that you can do that would greatly impact our community.”
