Meet the Finance Team!
As we celebrate our 65th anniversary and share the history of God’s Pantry Food Bank with you, we want to highlight the employees who make the Food Bank a respected organization and a great place to work.
First up is a shout out to our Finance Department. This team works hard to ensure your donations are properly spent, keeps the organization’s spending within budget, and handles the Food Bank’s growing technology needs, all while keeping their eyes of our core mission. We asked the team why they love working at God’s Pantry Food Bank and why the mission matters to them, and here’s what they had to say:
“I enjoy the unique challenges that can arise on any given day. Being a part of a team that genuinely cares for the nutritional well-being of central and eastern Kentuckians is a rewarding in many ways.” -Melissa, Finance Director
“I like working here because every single one of us, both in our organization and across the Feeding America network, are all working together on the same cause: to help people in need. The impact that we make in the daily lives of so many people wouldn’t be possible without a tight-knit, cohesive group that all deeply care about the work that they are doing. Knowing that the work I do helps people that need assistance makes this job so much more than just a job.” – Chase, Information Technology Administrator
“I have been part of God’s Pantry Food Bank family for seven years, and love coming to work every day. Each member of our team works together to create a positive and helpful envirnment in order to reach organizational goals. The work our Finance Department does diligently, every day, helps to ensure funds are properly spent in order to follow our organization’s mission and meet goals. We work closely with all department managers to help meet budget goals. The longer I work here, the more I am able to realize the true impact our organization, member agencies, and pantries have on the 50 counties we serve in Kentucky. I am so blessed to be part of an organization that brings nourishment and hope to 50 counties.” – Kelli, Accounting Assistant
“The reason I like working here is the people and how supportive everyone is.” – Kristen, Office Administrator
Thank you to Melissa, Chase, Kelli, and Kristen for all you do to help nourish kids & teens, seniors citizens, and communities across Central and Eastern Kentucky.
