Promotions at FROM: Congrats Kelly & Lauren!

We’re excited to announce two well-deserved promotions to team members here at FROM!

First is Kelly Glas, who is now our Program Manager! Kelly joined FROM in 2020 as our Healthy Food Program Coordinator and was recently promoted to Program Lead prior to this most recent promotion. During her time at FROM she has grown her impact in the Food Pantry, building on the strong foundation created by so many volunteers. She has built long-lasting partnerships to support the pantry, launched the Farm Market, and supported the development of the transportation program (Ride To & FROM). Last year she led the entire Christmas Distribution (Christmas Toy Store & Food Basket) for the first time. Kelly’s consistent leadership and dedication have clearly demonstrated her readiness for this next step. She also does an outstanding job representing FROM at the county level. Thank you, Kelly, for your continued dedication to our community!

Lauren Johnson is being promoted to Store Director. Lauren joined our FROMily in 2022 as Store Manager and has been instrumental in partnering with volunteers and staff to grow store sales more than $350,000! Over the past four years, she has brought structure, direction, and strong leadership to the store operation through collaboration with both volunteers and staff. As is often the case, great work leads to greater opportunities 😊. In addition to her current store responsibilities, Lauren will now oversee the Volunteer Coordinator role. This change creates natural synergy, as many of our volunteers support the store operation. We are excited to see Lauren continue to grow in this expanded leadership role.

Please congratulate both Kelly and Lauren on their promotions!
