Shanna Adler

  • A seasoned fundraising professional with 30 years of experience, Shanna Adler has dedicated her career to raising funds for causes that matter. With a heart for helping the food-insecure, she has successfully raised millions of dollars for The Caring Cupboard since her employment there in September 2020. Her diverse expertise in annual giving, donor cultivation and stewardship, and campaign planning has helped the nonprofits she has served achieve their fundraising goals and has proven invaluable during The Caring Cupboard’s capital campaign. Shanna is a passionate and dedicated leader, committed to making a difference in the lives of those in need.

Alberta Dobson

  • In this vital role, Alberta Dobson oversees the day-to-day operations of our food pantry, ensuring efficient and smooth functioning. Having spent significant time as a mother, trusted babysitter, and wife, Alberta developed exceptional organizational skills, a keen attention to detail, and a natural ability to handle diverse responsibilities. Through years of caring for children and managing household tasks, Alberta honed their multitasking abilities and nurtured a strong sense of responsibility.

    After a well-deserved retirement, from TE Connectivity, Alberta felt a strong pull to return to a fulfilling and meaningful role in the community. Recognizing the opportunity to make a lasting impact through supporting individuals and families facing food insecurity, Alberta felt called to join our team.

Allison Zimmerman

    Before joining the team, Allison spent several years as a devoted stay-at-home mom, nurturing and caring for her own family.

This personal experience sparked a desire within Allison to make a meaningful impact in her community and support those facing food insecurity.
