Meet The Team

 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. 

As Vice President of Maricopa Pantry, Christian Marquez offers a unique perspective and steadfast dedication to our mission. With years of experience as a Senior Mechanic in the demanding oilfield industry and as the owner-operator of CS Industrial Services LLC, Christian brings valuable skills in problem-solving, logistics, teamwork, and entrepreneurial drive to the food bank. His transition to this role reflects a profound commitment to community service and a desire to leverage his diverse abilities to address food insecurity and support those in need.
