Jenna Von Elling
Manager, Operations
Jenna oversees daily rescue operations and manages the volunteer network that makes them run. She first stepped into food recovery in 2019 as the founding leader of the Luther Jackson Middle School food pantry, a role that grew from a personal connection to her community and has since expanded into a thriving network supporting families facing food insecurity.
