Director of Student Equity, Access, and Advancement, Salem-Keizer Public Schools
It is my belief that we must come together and do everything we possibly can to supply food to everyone in need. This work is meaningful to me because once the need for food is identified, we get to develop a plan and a system to assure that food supplies are available and accessible. – Cynthia
