This year, his efforts were recognized with the Hope House Peace Builder Award.<\/p>\n<p>Before retiring from UWM in 2009, Lynch picked up a volunteer role through the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/community\/\">Center for Community-Based Learning, Leadership, and Research<\/a> office to continue being active in his community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s my way of giving back,\u201d Lynch said. \u201cWhen I was working at the university, I didn\u2019t have as much time to volunteer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gooVTHwk2ps\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Now, alongside UWM students, Lynch volunteers his time by stocking the pantry and serving clients in Milwaukee\u2019s south side. The pantry is operated by Friedens but shares the space with Hope House, where clients within a certain ZIP code can shop for groceries three days a week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey don\u2019t take more than they need,\u201d Lynch said about the clients he serves. \u201cThey know that there are other people, like them, who are probably even more in need of food.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the semester, as many as eight UWM student or staff volunteers assist at the pantry on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Though there are days where Lynch and only one other volunteer are responsible for assisting up to 50 families in one day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t turn anyone away,\u201d Lynch said. \u201cWe want to help every single family that comes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pantry\u2019s client group is primarily from the Latino community. Lynch says it\u2019s remarkable to watch students who are learning Spanish help interpret for and welcome clients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m heartened that people have a sense that there is a need and that they can contribute \u2014 especially right now,\u201d Lynch said.<\/p>\n<p>The award ceremony honoring Lynch\u2019s long-term commitment to the community was postponed, so a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gooVTHwk2ps&amp;feature=youtu.be\">video<\/a> was made about his mentorship and dedication to the Hope House.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first time Lynch has been recognized for his volunteer work. \u201cI feel very honored and privileged,\u201d Lynch said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every Thursday for the last 11 years, John Lynch, former associate dean and associate professor in the College of Health Sciences, can be found volunteering at Friedens Food Pantries.
