Pantry Welcomes New Board Member
The Laguna Food Pantry board approved the addition of its former bookkeeper, Kristin Lewis, onto its board of directors.
Lewis, now the vice president and leasing agent for the commercial real estate firm Woloson Company, is the mother of two young children. She is also co-president of the Laguna Beach Parents’ Club.
Taking Lewis’s place as bookkeeper is Anne McGraw, owner of Anne’s Bookkeeping.
Food Pantry board chair Dr. Korey Jorgensen praised Lewis’ work over seven years. “The fact that she steps onto the board with a great deal of familiarity with the pantry is only one of the many reasons we’re so pleased she accepted our request to join us.”
The pantry in Laguna Canyon collects and distributes 2,000 pounds of free groceries to shoppers from area low-income households.
