AUBURN — Sharon Coffin has been named vice president of community partnerships at Good Shepherd Food Bank.
“Growing up in Maine, my family and community taught me the value of connection and showing up for each other,” Coffin said. “Ten years ago I found myself surrounded by that same people-first collaborative energy at Good Shepherd Food Bank.
“I’ve been inspired every day since by the resilience and grit of my colleagues and our partners,” she said. “To be trusted to lead such an incredibly dedicated team is an honor. I look forward to working alongside them in this new role to deepen existing partnerships and build new ones, so all our neighbors have access to the nutritious food they need to thrive, when and where they need it.”
Coffin replaces Kathy Helming, who held the position for seven years. Coffin will lead Good Shepherd Food Bank’s Community Resources, Youth & Families Initiatives, Community Health & Hunger Program and Nutrition & Education departments. Collectively, these teams manage relationships with and provide customized capacity building supports to more than 500 food pantries, meal sites, shelters, health care sites, and school and afterschool programs ending hunger in their communities.
