Board Secretary

Executive Director of Food Cycle

Midwife

Nancy has been a member of the Board of Directors of The Center since 2012 and serves as the Executive Director of FoodCycle, and is a home birth midwife. Nancy’s passion for her community has always expressed itself through volunteer work with our unhoused and food insecure neighbors. It was this spirit of volunteerism that first led to Nancy’s founding of FoodCycle, a Hollywood based non-profit that picks up excess food from businesses throughout Los Angeles and brings it to organizations serving those in need. Nancy started out small, picking up excess food from a single grocery store with a little help from her friends. Under Nancy’s leadership FoodCycle has grown to serve almost 70,000 meals a week.

Nancy was recently recognized by Representative Adam Schiff as a Woman of the Year for 2022.
