Eric
Volunteer Coordinator
Sometimes people just need a small lift to get some traction during a tough stretch. If you’ve ever had your own tough stretch, you’ll know that everything looks better after a solid meal. I’d worked in the ‘for-profit’ world for a long time but had always held a vision of lending a hand in a more community related field. Providentially, Flathead Food Bank had an opening for the Volunteers Coordinator position at a time when I could make a career change. Outside of the food bank, I’m a pretty cheap date…some hike/hunt/fish/camp days with family and friends; a bit of gardening and the cutting of a few cords of firewood. Maybe throw in a summertime float trip or three, and of course, some rain & snow day reading/writing sessions with said firewood.
