Yvonne is not only the President of Bountiful Harvest but she is also the founder. In 2011 Yvonne had a vision to feed people in need, without question, to make sure that no one went hungry. After starting by providing food out of her church’s basement, her tenacity and vision has grown the pantry into what Bountiful Harvest is today. Yvonne has had a very diverse career background which included working for various service and fundraising organizations. She brings this knowledge with her to the table as she grows and expands the pantry with her “by the community for the community” approach. Her clients and volunteers can tell you that she also has the most caring heart which drives her every move at the pantry and with her family.

Shannon began volunteering at the pantry in 2012. She had been looking for an opportunity to volunteer within the local community, but needed to be able to bring her children along.

After helping out with the 2012 and 2013 “Dinner with a Heart” fundraiser and she was hooked. She was asked to join the board in 2013 as Head of Fundraising.
