Volunteer Profile – Peter Griswold

Peter Griswold
Peter is one of Interfaith Social Services’ amazing team of volunteers. Last year over 800 individuals volunteered at Interfaith, distributing almost 1,000,000 pounds of food to hungry local residents.

Peter Griswold of Quincy has been a food pantry volunteer at Interfaith Social Services since August 2014. While working with State Street for over 30 years Peter had volunteered at Interfaith through their Global Outreach volunteer program. So far, Peter’s favorite experience as a volunteer was during the holiday season. As part of our Help for the Holidays Program Peter worked with his church, Quincy Community United Methodist, to purchase gifts for a food pantry client family who otherwise would have missed out on the magic of Christmas. “I like having the chance to do something constructive. It’s good to give back to the community and help people in need.” When Peter isn’t bagging bread, moving things to the top shelf, or filling orders in the food pantry, he enjoys collecting comic books, especially Marvel comic books from the 1960s.
