Board Of Directors
The Food Bank staff is governed by a 10-member board of directors made up of community leaders who ensure their local food bank's success. Each member serves a 3-year term with an option to remain on the board for a second term before terming out. The Food Bank has been blessed by the involvement and dedication of dozens of well-connected and caring people over the past 40 years.
Our current board is no exception, and we are grateful for their service.
