Working with Bread for the City during the strategic planning process opened my eyes to the wealth of BFC staff and Board Members who truly see the community as the focal point, and infuse everything they do with passion and determination. I hope to build upon the great work of the organization by bringing a fresh perspective for how to solve some of the community’s most pressing challenges.

“In September 2022, I faced a medical emergency but was paralyzed by fear of the costs, having spent most of my adult life uninsured. Bleeding from a deep cut, I felt hopeless about the barriers to healthcare during a global pandemic. Despite my hesitation, I sought help, and Bread for the City was the first and only recommendation I needed. I got an appointment the next day, received 8 stitches, and experienced my first doctor’s visit in six years. The compassionate staff made me feel seen, safe, and cared for. That moment restored my faith in my worthiness of quality healthcare.”
