Food Bank Director Margaret Jocz Retiring

After more than 16 years as a volunteer, Marg Jocz has announced her intention to retire later this year. Over the past few years the food bank has experienced unprecedented growth to the point that management of the operation has become a full time job. With Marg’s retirement, a decision has been made to create two new paid positions: Food Bank Manager and Part Time Bookkeeper. Position descriptions may be viewed below.

Marg’s contribution to the growth and development of the food bank will be acknowledged by the City of Pickering at the Civic Awards Ceremony on June 20.

Thank You For Your Support
