Members of the Ignatian Volunteer Corps dig deep to provide fresh, free produce to a North Philadelphia neighborhood.
Members of the Ignatian Volunteer Corps branch out after retirement to help people in need across their communities."I have spent most of my career, about 40 years, in higher education," said Jane Seaberg. "And I really wanted an active retirement that I would continue to grow intellectually, socially and spiritually."
The Ignatian Volunteer Corps of Philadelphia/South Jersey focuses on assisting with seniors, education, shelter and transitional housing, and food service to name a few. "I love the mission in terms of providing healthy food to those who lack access," said Seaberg. "And I get great satisfaction and joy from being here and working with people."
