## Resource

Terry Deets, the beloved “Mayor of the Calgary Food Bank,” is retiring after 42 years of tireless service—making him the institution’s longest-serving volunteer and a true legend. Known for his infectious energy and unwavering dedication, he’s been the heart of the food bank since its early days, earning the unofficial title that’s now being permanently bestowed upon him as “forever mayor.” With needs soaring as inflation bites, Terry’s legacy has helped feed nearly 1,000 families daily, and his departure leaves a massive void—requiring multiple people to step into his shoes. The CEO even joked you had to pass the “Terry Test” to get hired. His impact? Unmatched. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
