Remington Jankowski

After securing his Master’s in Public Policy from Liberty University, Remington is dedicated to strengthening the organization’s impact through fundraising, donor relations, and community engagement. With a background in business management, marketing, and political campaigns he brings strategic vision and leadership to ensure the food bank continues to serve those in need across the Flathead Valley.

Kelli Worley
Major Gifts Officer
Kelli joins the Flathead Food Bank with a passion for public health, a love for nonprofit work, and a genuine eagerness to serve the Flathead Valley. Her commitment to hunger relief began early, spending many weekends stocking her church’s food pantry alongside her grandma. Recently, Kelli and her husband moved from Georgia to follow their love of the outdoors, and they’re thrilled to now call Montana home. Outside of work, you’ll find her exploring the mountains with her husband and their two dogs. Kelli is excited to bring her passion for people, health, and community into everything she does here.

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.
