Team Transitions
We are full of gratitude, love, and well-wishes with the transition of two CFI team members.
Reggie Morrow, CFI's amazing Director of Food Sourcing Distribution, is embarking on the next phase of his professional journey as Basic Needs Coordinator at Ohio University, and Ruth Dudding, dedicated CFI board member for TEN years, has concluded her service with CFI. We will miss them both!
Reggie joined the CFI team in 2019 as a COMCorps member before joining the staff in 2020 and was a key player in coordinating CFI's critical food access work throughout the pandemic. With a heart for service, a passion for innovation, and a huge amount of positive energy and hard work, Reggie has led major growth in CFI's food access work, including expanding CFI's partnership with the Vest Farm, establishing a contract purchasing program to facilitate farm-to-pantry food distribution, redesigning food distribution at CFI to improve equity and accessibility, and supporting local farms and food businesses by organizing the purchase of over $40,000 of local food by CFI in 2023 alone.
Ruth believes deeply in the mission of CFI, and provided thoughtful and exemplary leadership as the longest serving member on the Board of Directors. Ruth’s compassion, encouragement, wise perspective, and positive energy have been inspiring for all of us, and it is an honor and joy to continue to work with her as a partner at the Athens City County Health Department. Ruth also happens to make the BEST vegan treats, and is quite famous for her brownies and chocolate cake – and for this reason especially we look forward to continuing to see her at member meetings or other CFI events. ;)
On behalf of all of us at CFI, thank you to Reggie and Ruth for their incredible contributions to CFI over the past years! Please help us thank them if you see them in the community.
