Loaves and Fishes for St. Louis Board of Directors -2026
In 2024, I became involved with Loaves & Fishes for St. Louis because I felt a real connection to its mission of helping people in our community who are facing hunger and homelessness. I’ve always believed that when people are given meaningful and accessible ways to help, they want to be part of making their community better.
Drawing on my entrepreneurial background, I began looking for ways to make it easier for people to get involved—whether that meant simplifying how donations are coordinated, creating more intentional volunteer opportunities, or finding new ways to connect people and resources with those who need them most.
For me, this work is about much more than improving systems or processes. It’s about people. It’s about bringing together individuals who want to help and neighbors who need support, and creating opportunities for genuine connection between them. I believe stronger communities are built when we recognize our responsibility to one another, and I’m proud to be part of work that turns that belief into action.
