Welcoming Two New Board Members: Ryan McNally & Erika Garcia 🙌

We’re excited to welcome two new members to the Springs Food Pantry Board of Directors: Ryan McNally, our new Donor Development & Outreach Coordinator, and Erika Garcia, our new Recipient Outreach Coordinator.

“Erika and Ryan represent the heart of our community — service-minded, generous, and deeply committed to making sure no one is left behind,” said Holly Reichart-Wheaton, Director and Chairperson of Springs Food Pantry. “We’re so fortunate to welcome them to the Board as we continue growing to meet the need.”

Ryan McNally began volunteering in early 2024 after relocating full-time to Springs. Inspired by the long lines he saw during the pandemic, he joined our carry-out and delivery team and quickly became a weekly presence at the Pantry. A retired venture capitalist, Ryan now channels his energy into community work and is eager to expand our fundraising and outreach efforts.

Erika Garcia first came to the Pantry during the pandemic as a recipient

— an experience that inspired her to give back. As a longtime local resident, floral designer, and community advocate, Erika brings deep empathy and insight into the lived experiences of many of our recipient families. Her voice and perspective are invaluable as we continue building trust and connection across our community.
