Food program optimization

Emergency food needs are higher than ever. You’re part of the solution, or you want to be. I can help:

• Integrate or scale up food work in your current program context

• Identify operating efficiencies or opportunities

• Refine program evaluation to reflect new priorities 

• Work through team design and development

• Develop and execute a funding strategy for new work

We’ll work together to set good program goals, then identify the key improvements or changes—people, processes, tools—to make it happen. No need to redo work or fix things that aren’t broken; we’ll start where you are to get you where you need to go.

Why me?

• I’ve led programming and operations at one of the largest food access organizations in NYC, where we home-delivered more than 2M meals a year to some of New York’s most vulnerable residents—and created a shipped meals program to reach even more people and partner with bigger players.

• I’ve scaled programs in both professional services and direct services models, while creating evaluation frameworks to keep us on target.

• I’ve built or tweaked tools and processes to support all kinds of services, from an online consultant matching program to a home delivery model supporting 1,000 clients a day.  

• I’ve counseled nonprofits as a board member, a consultant, and an in-house executive.

• And I’ve supported hundreds of nonprofits looking for the right resources to achieve their most critical mission goals.

I can help you navigate change and come out of it even more effective than you were before. Let’s address your biggest constraints, fix your friction points, and firm up your programs as you adjust to a post-COVID world.
