Meet the Team

Jen Harrington Executive Director

Jen Harrington

Executive Director

In 2018, I began assisting at the food pantry, which operated within the Methodist church. It has been remarkable to witness the expansion and support that enabled our move to a new location.   As the current Director, I’ve taken great pleasure in engaging with our clients, deepening my connection with them. I am constantly filled with wonder at how God consistently provides exactly what we need, when we need it. I feel blessed to be part of this team and truly appreciate how generous and supportive the community of Grimes is to our mission to serve those in our area who are food insecure and need our assistance.
