Executive Director
Our People
Our People Are Our Strength.
Every department here touches the same neighbors, just from a different angle. Client Services sits with someone the week they need groceries. The Thrift Store keeps the doors open and the shelves stocked. Development and Operations make sure the whole thing keeps running. Leadership holds it all together.
Here's who's behind each part of that.
