The Freestore FoodbankDirector of Community Partnerships
Jul. 2012 - Jul. 2015The Freestore Foodbank distributes over 12 million pounds of food annually. In 20 counties in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, we have a trusted network of over 325 local member agencies. Member agencies include soup kitchens and shelters, food pantries, churches, daycare and senior centers, and many other community and social services organizations. When people come to us for food, we help them find the other things they may need — a safe place to live, government benefits they need, access to affordable health care, clothing or job skills and placement. In our line of work, food is not the end product. Rather, food is the vehicle for a larger conversation that leads to self-reliance.
