Clerical & Intake Coordinator - Verna
Verna started with the Lethbridge Food Bank in December 2006 where
she was thrust into the busy Christmas season. She is very
compassionate and dedicated to all Lethbridge Food Bank clients and
her heart shows in her work, from the hugs she gives out to
remembering little details about each person who walks in the door.
Verna is very committed to the clients and the other organizations the
Lethbridge Food Bank deals with on a daily basis. She promotes the
Lethbridge Food Bank at the Hurricanes games for Food Bank Fridays
and has actually become quite a hockey fan.

Warehouse Manager - Gary
Gary just celebrated his 71st birthday and over five years with the
Lethbridge Food Bank. Without Gary, the warehouse wouldn’t run as
smoothly as it does or be as clean and organized as it is. Gary has a
wicked sense of humor and makes it fun for people to be around him.
He is well known in Lethbridge, and because of this, the Lethbridge
Food Bank often benefits from his special relationships as he is always
promoting the work the Lethbridge Food Bank does.
Hamper Room Coordinator - Scott
Scotty adds his quick wit and sense of humor to his job and is so much
fun to work with. He is very committed to ensuring consistency for our
clients and he always helps anyone who needs it. Scott started as a
volunteer in December 2007, where as soon as there was a job opening
we begged him to stay. Scott is a kind man, who is now the face of the
Lethbridge Food Bank as he is currently starring in commercials on
Global TV.

Kitchen & Community Coordinator - Jacquie
Jacquie has been with the Lethbridge Food Bank for over seven years
and is an intricate part of the Lethbridge Food Bank. Jacquie is amazing
with the volunteers, from the young kids doing work experience to the
service groups that come in to help with a project. Jacquie really loves
what she does at the Lethbridge Food Bank and is very thoughtful
towards the clients needs. She is organized and runs a tight ship in the
kitchen with a waste nothing philosophy.
Hamper Coordinator - Collin
Collin started at the Lethbridge Food Bank in the fall of 2009 as a
volunteer who quickly fit in with all of the staff and other volunteers and
became an important part of the team. When a job opening came up in
February 2010 we scooped him up as quick as we could and we are so
glad we did. Collin has been an amazing asset to the team and with his
hidden computer and technology talents has become not only our tech
guru but our Hamper Coordinator as well. When not at the Lethbridge
Food Bank, Collin is focused on his adorable son Caden, daughter Alice
and mastering his computer and gaming skills.
