Food Share announces
new operations manager invited to SES meet and greet
There have been many
recent changes at Florence
Food Share, including the
pantry expansion, which has
now been completed, thanks to
the support from the Florence
community. Along with these
changes, Food Share is
announcing its plans for the
future.
The Food Share Board of
Directors has promoted Colin
Morgan to the position of
operations manager.
Morgan has worked at
Florence Food Share for over
10 years, both as a volunteer
and an employee in the ware-
house.
Board President Rick
Klessig said that “Colin will
oversee all of the ordering,
purchasing, storage and distri-
bution of food at the pantry. In
addition, he will manage the
day-to-day activities of the
pantry, including assuring that
clients have access to fresh,
healthy food, that volunteers
are available to help clients,
and that our operations run as
efficiently as possible.
“Colin knows Florence
Food Share inside and out, and
his incredible work ethic
makes him a perfect fit for us.”
Klessig stated that Florence
Food Share will seek a part-
time Executive Director, who
will oversee fundraising and
grant writing, interact with the
food share's donors and part-
ners, and develop new pro-
grams.
Klessig said that “structur-
ing Food Share with a part-
time executive director and a
full-time Operations Manager
makes the best use of the funds
so generously donated by our
community.”
