Sam Michaud Receives 2023 Maine VOAD Member of The Year Award

Sam Michaud received the 2023 Maine VOAD Member of The Year Award on August 21, 2024 at the Maine VOAD Quarterly Meeting. In addition to his job as the Director of Facilities at Good Shepherd Food Bank, Sam has served as Co-chair of Maine VOAD for the past three years.

Sam is a tireless advocate for emergency preparedness and response. He is often one of the first people to reach out and see what anyone needs and how we can work together.
