Leadership

At the Guilderland Food Pantry, leadership and action go hand in hand. While our Executive Director and Board of Directors steer our mission and provide the governance and strategic vision required to keep our doors open, they are only part of the story. It takes a village to feed a community, and our dedicated volunteers are the heart and soul of everything we do; bringing our mission to life every single day. See Volunteer Opportunities.
