Cheyanna joined our Agency Relations & Programs team in August. She comes to us via Feeding America’s Child Hunger Corps. The Child Hunger Corps is a national service program that helps member food banks increase the number of meals served to children and their families.
Cheyanna will serve at Second Harvest for two years, segmented into three phases; a six month community needs assessment, followed by a year of expanding existing child hunger programs or implementing new ones, and finally, six months of post-implementation evaluation work.
When asked how she felt about her first few weeks in Central Florida and at Second Harvest, she replied: “My first few weeks here at Second Harvest have been engaging and motivating! Coming to Second Harvest, I was already passionate about eliminating child food insecurity. Upon my arrival, I was excited to meet people equally as motivated towards the initiative. I am excited to work with the incredible people at Second Harvest to reduce the presence of child hunger in our communities!
Cheyanna hails from Kentucky and holds Bachelors of Science degree in Business Administration. We are thrilled to welcome her to our Childhood Hunger team and we look forward to sharing updates about Cheyanna’s work along the way!
