Foodgrains Bank Executive Director Stepping Down After 20 Plus Years

After 20 plus years in the position, the executive director of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank is stepping down.

 

Jim Cornelius talked about what he'll remember most.

 

"My heart gets warm when I'm getting out meeting with supporters to see the level of support continues to be there some 20 years later," he said. "There's just such strong support across the country for the work of the Foodgrains Bank. We've been able to sustain our partnership with the government over all this time, increase the funding that we receive, that's very heartwarming. But in the end the most important thing is what happens on the ground overseas and be able to be in so many communities where we're seeing people in crisis receive the food they need."

 

Cornelius says he plans to remain involved with the organization going forward.
