We extend our heartfelt gratitude and thanks to three retiring board members–Ginger Benz, Susannah Gustafson, and Brian Hornung!

• Susannah Gustafson served in many roles during her three terms, including on the finance committee for all her terms and as board chair for the last year.
• Brian Hornung served three terms, during which time he was instrumental in adapting the WayForward building for new needs during the pandemic and the purchase of the adjacent property. He will continue to be involved with our organization through work with the building committee.

Thank you to our incoming and outgoing board members for sharing your time, talents, and dedication with us. Your leadership is vital to helping create food security and housing stability in our community!
