AmpleHarvest.org Announces New Board President
AmpleHarvest.org announces the appointment of Wendy Gonzalez, Product Marketing Manager at Google, as President of AmpleHarvest.org Board of Directors. New York, NY, January 15, 2021 (PR.com) Today, AmpleHarvest.org, the nation’s only virtual solution to food waste and hunger, has announced the appointment of Wendy Gonzalez, Product Marketing Manager at Google, as their new Board President.
“When I first learned of AmpleHarvest.org, I was immediately struck by the simplicity and ingenuity of its approach in helping to solve the very big problem of hunger - connect food pantries with the naturally occurring surplus of fresh produce grown by home and community gardeners,” said Wendy Gonzalez. “Years later, I am honored to have the opportunity to help the organization make an even bigger impact on a problem that unfortunately is increasingly relevant in our society.”
Joining Williams was her friend, Doris Phinn.
“Truthfully it hurts. Because right now we’re all suffering,” she said.
The Rentschler Field food distribution center was set up as an emergency operation. Organizers say they thought it would only be open for a few weeks. But since March, much has happened.
“We’ve served 220,000 cars and distributed over seven and a half million pounds of food in the nine months we’ve been here at Rentschler Field, said Foodshare logistics manager Dom Piccini.
According to organizers, volunteers have donated over 16,000 hours of time at Rentschler. Operating costs are around $50,000 a month to buy food. This is subsidized by monetary donations to Foodshare.
