Lynn Falanga manages the daily operations of the National Grid Community Volunteers (Community Volunteers) and is the main contact between the agencies they serve, the community, and the volunteer group. In 2005, the Community Volunteers began a partnership with Island Harvest, the third largest food rescue organization in the U.S., to assist them in their mission to end hunger on Long Island. With an initial group of 10 employees, the Community Volunteers served as the bridge between those who have surplus food and those that need it. Today, 150+ Community Volunteers give up their lunch hours Monday – Friday to pick up surplus food and deliver to a network of community-based non-profit organizations that distribute the food to the needy.“
