Co-Executive Director

Glen, a retired professional firefighter and former Member of Parliament, has served the London Food Bank as its Executive Director since 1987. Glen also served as the chairperson for the Ontario Association of Food Banks for a two-year term. He and Jane Roy were married in July 1999 and now lead the Food Bank as a husband-and-wife team.

Co-Executive Director

Since 1988, Jane has been involved with the London Food Bank and she has been remarkably successful at developing the organization's profile in the community. Like Glen, Jane served a two-year term as the chairperson for the Ontario Association of Food Banks and was also a key member of the Mayor's Anti-Poverty Task Force.

General Manager

A volunteer during the Food Bank's early years, Brian became part of our staff in 1992. His primary responsibilities involve the overall operation of the Food Bank, including new volunteers, overseeing the warehouse, and seeing to the shipment of food both to and from the Food Bank.

Mary Ann started volunteering at the Food Bank in 1995 and joined the staff in 1998. She is responsible for various aspects of the Food Bank, including leading volunteer groups during the day and overseeing special events such as the Santa Claus Parade and Holiday Train. Mary Ann also manages the Neighbourhood Food Depot network.

Finance & Technology Co-ordinator

After many years in the corporate world, Doug started volunteering at the Food Bank in 2004 and found a better form of banking. His responsibilities are finance, technology, and general warehouse operations. Doug also arranges volunteer hours for high-school students.

Fresh Food Co-ordinator

Mike started volunteering at the Food Bank on Saturday mornings in 1999, and later became a leader for volunteer groups on Saturdays. In 2016, he joined the staff to assume co-ordination of the Community Harvest program, and deals with collection and distribution of other fresh food donations. Mike also oversees the outdoor gardens at the back of the food bank.

The COVID year presented a logistical nightmare as we split our staff into two cohorts in an attempt to keep effective social distancing. Glenn was brought on part-time to assist with shipping/receiving, vehicle maintenance and all sort of odds and ends that help keep the food bank running. We refer to him as our “Swiss army knife” because of all the things he called on to do.

In a very short period of time, Luis has become a community favourite. He was brought over a year ago to direct our greenhouse operations. Trained in his native Chile, Luis eventually arrived in London and has brought his considerable expertise and experience to our greenhouse network. He is frequently called upon by the community for his vast knowledge.
