Meet Our Newest Team Members!

Teen Feed is excited to officially welcome two new Meal Program Coordinators to our team! While Aliya Gilmore and J Engels might be new to their present roles as Teen Feed Meal Program Coordinators, they have both been a part of the Teen Feed community for some time. They look forward to seeing you all and meeting new folks they haven’t yet connected with. Learn more about Aliya and J and their weekly Teen Feed schedules below…
