Volunteer of the Week

Clare VanSpeybroeck 

Clare VanSpeybroeck Clare VanSpeybroeck is seventeen and a junior at Alleman High School in Rock Island, Illinois where she is a member of the National Honor Society, Foreign Language Club, Key Club, Alleman Ambassadors, and is a Student Hunger Drive Leader. Over the past year she has volunteered over 250 hours with several organizations including 4-H Teen Hunger Ambassadors, the Student Hunger Drive, TEC (Teens Encounter Christ), and the Children’s Therapy Center. Clare enjoys playing volleyball and travelling. She also works at a locally owned Hallmark store.

Clare has been active as a 4-H Teen Hunger Ambassador since the group’s inception four years ago. The teens prepare and serve free monthly meals to the hungry at the Milan, Illinois Extension and pack snack bags for food insecure children to take home from school. Clare organized all the logistics for two annual meal packaging events, which included recruiting and instructing volunteers, fundraising, writing grants, ordering the meal ingredients and supplies from Illini Fighting Hunger, and running the events. Clare plans to prepare for and host another meal event this year, and hopes to possibly continue for years to come!
