I’m Director of Partner Communication at Feeding America, managing communication for the organization’s leading corporate donors. Including, of course: Walmart, our top corporate partner. My role includes public relations, internal communication and media relations, among other things. I work in very close collaboration with my colleagues in the philanthropy department and with my communications counterpart at each donor. The best part of my job is being part of such a broad group, all working together to fight hunger in America.
My favorite things include cooking, traveling and watching The Office. From Cleveland to Italy to Boston to Chicago, I have moved around a lot. About five years ago, I arrived in Chicago. It’s cold and windy and gloomy about 9 months a year, but I just love it here! One of the best things about Chicago: Feeding America. It’s a real honor to work here.
Feeding America is the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization with a network of more than 200 member food banks that support 63,000 agencies, including soup kitchens and food pantries. Feeding America secures and distributes more than 2.5 billion pounds of food and grocery products annually, supporting more than 25 million Americans every year, including 9 million children and 3 million seniors.
