Jim our founder and CEO moved to Maricopa from Ohio over 30 years ago. Jim saw the need for a community foodbank and well the rest is history. From picking up and delivering food to playing Santa for those with sensory needs he's just all around great guy. Without Jim's vision none of this would have been possible. We are very happy to have Jim as our CEO and thankful that God has sent him.
Alice our founder and President moved to Maricopa with Jim. Alice is an integral part of our organization keeping us up to date with our paper work and records. She is our shining star and an inspiration to us all. From her food safety knowledge to her budget mindedness she's an asset to our organization. She also has the most important job of keeping Jim in line. All jokes aside she's a pretty special part of making all of this work for the glory of God and we appreciate her very much.
