Kitchen ManagerNick believes in our shared responsibility to meet the needs of our neighbors. His favorite way to answer this call is by sharing food, which not only nourishes but also fosters connection and community. Nick brings a background in managing operations at a sustainable agriculture company, along with nearly two years of experience mediating and teaching at middle schools. He views Edible Hope as an incredible opportunity to combine his passion for serving others with hands-on work that uplifts the community, all while contributing to broader efforts to reshape our broken food system.
