Meet Our Board
Serving as a Loaves and Fishes Board Member provides the organization with strength, solace, support and inspiration for staff, volunteers, clients and the larger community. Members help keep the organization on track by providing vision, raising funds, assist with events and work as an ambassador in the community for Loaves and Fishes. Board meetings take place at Loaves and Fishes Martinez Dining Room 6 times a year, 6:00pm-8:00pm. The Loaves and Fishes Culinary Arts Program will provide refreshments for some of our evening meetings. Board members are expected to attend all the meetings, be active at 4 fund raising events throughout the year, serve on a committee of their choice and help host a Volunteer Appreciation Celebration once a year.
“For me personally, serving as a Board member for Loaves and Fishes of Contra Costa has proven to be a very rewarding and humbling experience. Being able to positively affect lives by helping provide a basic human need, such as a hot nutritious meal, is why our Board members volunteer their time. Seeing the smiles on the faces of our clients as they receive a hot meal or graduate from our culinary program, makes it worth our time and effort.“
