New Director Appointed

As you know, we have been searching for the person to take the position as His Harvest Stand Food Pantry Director. I am pleased to announce that Mark Wolfe has accepted the position. Mark, as you know, has been involved with the ministry as Director of Home Repair. Recently he has stepped in to serve as interim Director of the Food Pantry.

 

In this new role, Mark will be responsible for the day to day pantry operations. He will also be responsible for continuing to develop a growing relationship with the area churches, businesses and individuals who support HHS Ministries.

 

Regarding the home repair ministry, the board will be developing a plan on the next step for that ministry. Mark will be finishing up some projects that were already planned. However, until we have formalized a plan, there will be no new commitments made for new projects.

 

Please join the board and me in congratulating Mark as he accepts his new responsibilities. This is effective immediately.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Jim Lampen – Board President
