Amanda is excited to join the food bank as a behind-the-scenes team member. Amanda records and tracks food assistance services distributed at the food bank for our clientele. As a long time resident of the valley she has seen the needs of our community change and grow, and is grateful to find a niche where her skillset can be of help. When she is not working behind a computer screen Amanda enjoys cooking meals with friends, spending time with her husband, and playing in the woods with her faithful companions Tank and Gigi.

As the Store and Senior Groceries Coordinator, I support our amazing volunteers in running our store as well as manage the Senior Grocery program — a food distribution program for qualifying seniors. Prior to arriving at Gallatin Valley Food Bank I spent two years managing Bounty of the Bridgers, the campus food pantry at Montana State University. In that role I grew deeply passionate about food security and ensuring everyone is able to access enough nutritious food. I am thrilled to continue this work at Gallatin Valley Food Bank on a larger scale and support Seniors in accessing food benefits. 

Outside of work I play a whole lot of ultimate frisbee, listen to a whole lot of podcasts, and love the show Survivor! I also love to craft and have recently become engrossed in stained glass projects.
