Every month we highlight someone who makes the SEED the do-it-together movement that it is. It takes a community to feed a community, and we’ve got an incredible community! This month we want to introduce Ingrid von Cube, who has continuously been a dedicated volunteer with the SEED, shown incredible fundraising efforts, and helps make Upcycle Kitchen all that it is.
Ingrid von Cube has not only been volunteering with the SEED since its early beginnings, but has shown continual drive, passion, and dedication in everything she does. She goes above and beyond the call of duty, bringing heaps of creativity and insight to the Upcycle Kitchen and the SEED as a whole. Ingrid shows a deep level of care for the community, inspiring others through her incredible level of service and commitment. She knows the importance of building community through sharing good and nutritious food, nurturing relationships, and lifting others up. Other volunteers and community members often look to her for guidance and direction, as she knows how to offer her humble support in a positive and encouraging way. Her volunteer efforts are truly incredible and are at the heart of the Upcycle Kitchen and it’s amazing work. Ingrid’s love and spirit for food, cooking, community wellness and environmental care is part of what inspires the work that we do. With much gratitude, we thank you Ingrid!
