Episode 7: The School Pantry Program

For our final episode of the Pantry Podcast, we'll meet two members of the OACP staff who haven't been featured yet on our show. Maggie Piery, the current Operations Manager, and Larson Cook, the Inventory Manager, discuss how they came to work at the OACP and what things look like in their daily roles at the pantry.

Returning to our previous format, Kelsey interviews longtime board member and former OACP Treasurer Bill Albrecht. He discusses the importance of the pantry to the Oshkosh community and beyond.

Elizabeth and Kelsey discuss events that occurred at the OACP in May and talk about increased demand for volunteers this summer.

Elizabeth and Kelsey discuss events and updates from the OACP for the month of April. They also talk about upcoming events for May such as Stamp Out Hunger on May 13th, the Kiwanis Amazing Race Oshkosh (also on May 13th), and "Do Something Good for Your Neighbor" night at Culver's on Koeller from 5-8pm on May 16th.

This month join hosts Kelsey and Elizabeth for a conversation about what's been going on at the Oshkosh Area Community Pantry in 2023. We hope you enjoy the new format!

For this episode, I met with former executive director of the OACP, Tom Fojtik. We chatted about his time at the OACP, working through the COVID-19 pandemic, and his new role helping develop healthy neighborhoods in Oshkosh.

This month's interview is with newly appointed OACP board chair Jennifer Heim. Jenny talks about her time with the OACP along with maintaining a balance between work, family, and community service.

This episode of the Pantry Podcast is dedicated to the volunteers. You’ll hear from two volunteers who are also on the OACP board, a full time volunteer, and the OACP Volunteer Coordinator, Karl Buelow. They all discuss how volunteers truly are the heart of the OACP and how great it feels to give back to your community.

In this episode I talk with OACP Program Manager Elizabeth Ahnert about the School Pantry Program and the resources it provides students in the Oshkosh community. We also discuss the OACP Kid's Corner and hear a special story about their birthday program.
