Lisa began her role at the food bank in January 2018 after having worked on Lakeside Church’s pastoral staff, where she developed and implemented adult discipleship programs and cultivated people’s best assets in order to serve and enrich the lives of those in need. She brought that experience to the operations and programs at the food bank to serve the needs of food insecure individuals and families in her community.

Over her eight years as Executive Director, Lisa has led the organization through significant growth — expanding programming and capacity by 40%, increasing general operating revenue by 72%, and successfully leading a capital campaign to raise $3.1 million to build an expanded food bank. Under her leadership, the food bank’s staff has grown from 4 to 9 members, and its volunteer team has grown from 60 to more than 100 dedicated community members.

Outside of the food bank, Lisa loves gathering family and friends around the table with meals made from scratch, tending her cut flower garden, and unwinding with a good book in her hammock.

Michelle started at Twin Lakes as a garden volunteer in the spring of 2021 and leapt at the chance to join the team as Garden Coordinator a couple months later. She grew up on a vineyard in Mendocino County and though she has resided in Folsom since 2007, her rural roots and appreciation for the natural world run deep. Michelle has a background in animal science and floral design and is passionate about the connection between food, social wellness and environmental health. She loves the variety of tasks she encounters in the garden, the camaraderie among the staff and volunteers, and the sense of purpose she gets from using her skills for good in the community. Michelle, alongside her husband, is currently raising three young humans, a handful of pets (including chickens) and countless plants. When she isn’t gardening, Michelle enjoys cooking for her family, drinks with friends, trips to the lake and listening to podcasts. She is so grateful for the opportunity to steward the special piece of land that is Twin Lakes Garden.
