Meet the Leadership Dedicated to Ending Hunger
Each officer and director brings to the Board a unique skill set, but they never lose sight of the fact that it is applied to a common mission. We are indebted to them for their selfless service to the Food Bank of the Albemarle.
Our Board, Management, and Staff
Our staff recognizes the value of every donation, and we work diligently to use every resource we have to feed the hungry men, women and children of northeastern North Carolina. If you have any questions about the operations of the Food Bank or would like to learn more, please contact us by phone or email. Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Liz Reasoner, our staff works hard to guarantee the efficient and cost-effective operation of the Food Bank of the Albemarle.
