Volunteer Ashley Puts Community First

“Putting others first strengthens your bond with the community.”  

That’s Ashley Parker speaking, a Wichita Falls Area Food Bank volunteer. To her, donating time is a priority in life.  

Ashley, 37, served as an Army medical officer before returning home to her family. Now, she volunteers for several organizations, including the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank.  

Crediting her faith, Ashley strives to be a good role model and lead by example. She hopes to inspire even more community members to get involved. 

Speaking on the people who have inspired her, Ashley gives special credit to Robert at the mobile pantry, Bridget and Stella at our warehouse, and fellow volunteer Nina, who all encouraged Ashley to begin her own path of giving. 

To anyone considering getting involved with the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank, Ashley suggests you try it. She says, “with the Food Bank, you know the donations are going straight to the people who need it.” 

Thank you, Ashley, for sharing our mission! We are so grateful to do this work alongside you!
