Welcome New Board Members

Welcome New Board Members

We are excited to welcome three new members to our board of directors: Sarah Bauer, Rev. La Nae Kirwan, and Pamela Meyers. Their new term began on July 1, the start of the fiscal year for the Anne Arundel County Food Bank. We are fortunate to have a Board of Directors that are passionate about increasing food security throughout Anne Arundel County. Our new board members will further strengthen the connections that have been established in the community and we are looking forward to seeing what great things they will do on the Board of Directors. We would also like to thank these directors who completed their service on the Board: J.J. Fegan, Bob Hannon, John Leopold, and Dan Mellin. Their outstanding service and leadership have helped the organization grow and meet the increasing food needs in our County.

The Anne Arundel County Food Bank welcomes the following board members:
