?? Meet Ernie, our incredible Director of Finance at Farm2People! ??? With a multi-decade corporate background in food and logistics, Ernie brings a wealth of experience to our team. When Covid hit, Ernie was inspired by our mission to tackle food supply issues and jumped at the chance to lend his expertise in product supply and technical operations. It was meaningful for Ernie to apply his expertise on a values-driven localized scale. Now, as Director of Finance, Ernie ensures our programs run smartly and efficiently. ? ? One more major reason to celebrate Ernie is that his efforts are all volunteer! (??Read that twice!) Ernie generously donates his time to support our mission and make a real difference in our Southern California community. We are so grateful and humbled by his heroic commitment. Please join us in celebrating Ernie’s amazing contributions to Farm2People ??
