SARASOTA, FL (June 3, 20205) – As local families face the compounding pressures of rising living costs, harmful government policy decisions and a deepening economic crisis, All Faiths Food Bank has announced a series of strategic staffing updates designed to enhance its operations, amplify its impact, and help even more neighbors across Sarasota and DeSoto counties.

The organization has realigned its team structure and responsibilities to foster greater collaboration, efficiency and innovation across departments. By evolving its internal operations, All Faiths Food Bank aims to deepen its understanding of community needs and strengthen the systems that support long-term food security.

These changes are part of an intentional approach to ensure the organization is aligned with current market demands and the ongoing threat of reduced government funding, and represent the next phase in the implementation of the food bank’s bold five-year plan to end hunger by addressing its root causes.

As part of this effort, numerous team members in operations, programs, nutrition education and the DeSoto Food and Resource Center have received updated titles that more accurately reflect the added responsibilities they’ve embraced. Other staff titles have also been adjusted to better align with day-to-day functions. 

Importantly, these efforts are designed to strengthen the organization’s ability to meet the growing demand for services and better support the evolving needs of the community.

“Every day, we see how complex and far-reaching food insecurity is in our region,” said Nelle S. Miller, president and CEO of All Faiths Food Bank. “These changes reflect our continued commitment to listen to our neighbors, remain nimble in the face of challenge, and provide not just food, but pathways to stability, health and hope.”

The internal enhancements support the food bank’s four strategic goals:

     • Advance greater insight into how to meet the unique needs of our neighbors experiencing hunger. 

     • Build a reimagined supply chain that holistically integrates the preferences and nutritional needs of our neighbors and establishes innovative new methods to distribute food.

     • Position food and wraparound services as important steps in opening new pathways to financial stability and economic security for our food insecure neighbors.

     • Invest in deep partnerships to create a region-wide movement that recognizes the role we can all play to end hunger.  

This approach reflects the complexity of hunger and the diverse realities of those it affects — reinforcing the food bank’s commitment to lead with compassion, innovation and community-driven solutions.

“We are grateful to our staff, board, volunteers, donors and community partners who continue to support our work,” added Miller. “Together, we are building a food bank for the future — one that adapts to challenges and works tirelessly to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry.”
