Our Board

Colorado Springs Food Rescue has a Working & Strategic Board Model. Our board meets once a month but also includes four committees, each of which meets monthly and ensures that our mission, vision, and operations are successfully carried out. Omitting the Executive Committee, all committees act as semi-autonomous meeting circles that are open to staff, volunteers and community members. Contact info@coloradospringsfoodrescue.org for more information. The committees are as follows:

Executive Committee: Focuses on finances, strategy & planning board meetings.
Governance Committee: Focuses on areas of bylaws & organizational policy.
Resource Development Committee: Focuses on the areas of marketing, fundraising, grant work, events, and general operations.
Program & Education Committee: Focuses on the areas of advocacy, school & community partnerships, grocery programs and donor/recipient relations.
