Branna Still joined the SLO Food Bank team in June 2020 and is excited to be a member
of a phenomenal organization that offers relief to those who are finding themselves
in the most challenging situations.
Branna was born and raised in Missouri. After graduating high school, she studied at
the University of Missouri—Columbia (MIZZOU) while also serving in the US Army Reserve.
After a year-long deployment overseas and a six-month course at the Defense
Language Institute, she graduated from MIZZOU with a duel degree in International
Studies and Business, emphasis in Marketing. After living in a few different states and
working in various for-profit roles, Branna shifted her career in 2014 to fundraising
and community development for the American Cancer Society. After four impactful
years serving Monterey County communities, she followed the sunshine and landed in
San Luis Obispo. Branna was honored to join the Woods Humane Society as the Development
Manager and, after a month, her family grew by adding a sweet canine
stray found in Paso Robles. As the “normal day” in the life flipped upside down amid
the global pandemic, an opportunity to help those at risk of hunger came forth, and she was excited and grateful
to become part of the solution. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family and fur babies, listening
to music, enjoying the great outdoors, and traveling the world.
Branna told us that 26% of households in SLO County do not earn enough to afford an essential cost of living and
1 in 6 children may experience food insecurity in the US this year! The SLO Food Bank serves over 31,000 individuals
each month. 28% are children and 25% are seniors. Community Service Chair, Sandy Cha, was pleased to present Branna
and the SLO Food Bank with a check for $500 to help families and individuals
during this holiday season.
