MEET THE TEAM

Carla came to Craig’s Pantry in 2017 as a volunteer. It immediately became clear that Carla’s dedication to our mission and our clients far exceeded her role as a volunteer. There was no job too big or small for Carla, and she worked any and all hours necessary to get the job done. In 2018 she transitioned into the role of administrator and eventually director.

Carla brings so much love, caring and enthusiasm to Craig’s Pantry. She works tirelessly to make sure our pantry runs like a well oiled machine. From organizing volunteers and distributions  to receiving food deliveries from suppliers and networking for donations, Carla does it all with a big smile and a warm heart. Our volunteers and clients love Carla. Her enthusiasm is infectious and, as a result, she attracts a large number of like minded volunteers who enjoy working by her side. She cares deeply for our clients, and is always on the lookout for more ways to help and support them. Whether you are seeking assistance, wishing to donate or interested in becoming a volunteer, Carla is ready to answer your questions and welcome you to our Mitzvah Life.

Craig’s grandma always told him that food is love, and his greatest joy is spreading the love to our clients. He makes a point of ordering foods our mothers and grandmothers made that bring back warm fuzzy memories to comfort clients during difficult times. Jewish delicacies such as kugel, kishke, knishes, corned beef and pastrami are often on his order list. He calls all the clients frequently, especially our elderly, to chat, bring smiles to their faces and find out how they are doing. He is the foundation of the pantry, and his passion ignites every aspect of our mission.
