Foodbanker since 2011
"Working at the Foodbank is not just a job for me, it is a calling and a gift. The sense of purpose and satisfaction I derive from this work is unparalleled. I envision a Foodbank that is not just a place to provide food assistance, but also a hub for education, empowerment and community support as we work toward long-term solutions to food insecurity through advocacy and partnerships with other organizations."
Jenn is a strategic leader who cares deeply for the Foodbank's mission.
