The Westside Food Bank

President and Chief Executive Officer, Westside Food Bank

Genevieve brings more than 20 years of experience in nonprofit fundraising and management to her role as Westside Food Bank’s leader. Her personal experience as a single woman of color raising a family amidst food and housing insecurity informs her hunger relief and anti-poverty work. Born and raised in Bronx, NY, as a child Genevieve benefited from numerous social service programs and years later, as a single mother of three in the midst of a divorce, Genevieve relied on government safety net programs such as SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) WIC, subsidized healthcare, and subsidized housing. It was getting a job at Westside Food Bank in 2004 that put her on the path out of poverty to being able to support her family.

She has worked at Westside Food Bank https://www.wsfb.org/)since 2004, previously serving as Deputy Director and Chief Development Officer. WSFB’s food distribution program has more than tripled during her tenure.
