AUBURN – Good Shepherd Food Bank has announced three new hires — George Fox, assistant vice president of supply chain; Courtney Holub, major gifts officer; and Kaitlyn Myers, development operations assistant.
Fox is responsible for helping the Food Bank grow its capacity to feed food-insecure Mainers.
“America has the world’s greatest capacity to grow and distribute food, but we still have people who do not have enough food,” Fox said. “I came to work at Good Shepherd Food Bank because I believe we can find better ways to address food insecurity in Maine, and I think we have an obligation to do so.”
Before joining Good Shepherd, Fox held engineering and operational leadership roles at L.L.Bean for more than 20 years. He lives with his wife and teenage son in Gorham. He is also the chairman of the Gorham Planning Board.
Holub has held positions in nonprofits, including programming, marketing, communication and philanthropy. Her work has been focused on increasing opportunity and equity for underserved populations.
“When I moved to Maine, I learned about Good Shepherd Food Bank, its role in meeting a vital need for our community and its ability to do so on such a large scale,” Holub said. “Food is an essential part of all our lives no matter your background. Yet, hunger impacts our neighbors daily. Good Shepherd Food Bank is working to end hunger in Maine with innovative approaches like community wellness and empowerment; I am so proud to be a part of this team.”
Holub moved to Maine in 2016, and is a board member and volunteer adaptive ski coach for New England Disables Sports. She resides in Portland with her husband and dog and enjoys spending her time being active, gardening and cooking.
Myers said she loves to cook, and loves the way it brings people together. “It’s heartbreaking to see the level of food insecurity in Maine (and nationally) and realizing that so many people are worried about getting enough food on the table that it can be one of the biggest stressors in their daily life,” she said. “I love that I’m now part of an organization that hopes to remove the stigma and stress of food insecurity because I want everyone to have the chance to see food as something that brings their families together and maybe even sparks joy like it does for me.”
Myer’s has worked in human resources and accounting at nonprofits that provide support to children and adults with developmental disabilities, has assisted with case management at a law firm and held an administrative position at a doctor’s office.
In other promotions, transitions and appointments, Raymond Wacome has been promoted to systems support specialist; Tom Steinmetz has been promoted to senior systems specialist; Kathy Helming has transitioned from vice president of community partnerships to employee experience specialist; Kai Loundon has transitioned from community resource representative to a member of the research and evaluation team as the research coordinator; Dawn DiFiore has transitioned from community resources manager to director of community partnerships; Kristen D’Eramo has transitioned from community resources coordinator to community health and hunger program coordinator; Jessica Donahue, marketing and communications manager, appointed PRSA Yankee Chapter board of directors; Sam Michaud, director of facilities and safety, has been elected president of the Maine Volunteers Organized Active in Disaster Board of Directors.
