Dear Marcia,
As I sit here, pen in hand, to write my first letter as CEO, I can’t help but reflect on the incredible legacy of this organization and how proud and humbled I am to be trusted to lead it. After 31 years at the helm, Steve Sellent has earned his retirement, although he left big shoes to fill.
I have served the Great Plains Food Bank for nearly 14 years in different capacities and every single day I continue to be blown away by the passion and resiliency of our staff, volunteers, advocates, network of charitable feeding partners and food and financial donors.
As our region continues to recover from the fallout of COVID-19, we expect the demand for emergency food assistance to remain high across North Dakota and Clay County, Minnesota. But I know that with you and your continued commitment to this work, we can and will end hunger. Thank you.
