After a encouraging challenge from a member of the Living Water congregation to make a difference in the community, Sandie began volunteering at the food pantry in the fall of 2015 and was soon appointed to the Board for (then) Northfield’s Human

give food to people who need it.

Sandie has 4 children, 11 grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren.
