Director of Operations
“My connection to the work of the Food Share is personal. My family was a food box recipient for a number of years and the food we received was key in our journey out of poverty. I have a strong belief that food is a human right; that every person should have access to the food they need to live and thrive. I’m continually impressed by the way our community is engaged in our mission and I’m inspired by the passion they have to evoke social change and support their hungry neighbors.” -Kendra
