What you love most about what you do? I get to interact with all our wonderful donors and friends. I have the pleasure of meeting and nurturing our donors and helping them direct their gifts to an aspect of our work closest to their hearts. But what I love best is to be able to thank our generous donors and show them the impact their generosity has on all those who live in our county. Working with our Garden Share partners has been a real joy especially helping to start school gardens as the children are so excited and ready to learn how they can help us grow a row for the hungry and feed our community. I treasure welcoming people to FOOD Share for a tour to learn about our mission and also enjoy speaking engagements educating our community.
