Our People, Growing Our Impact

Kate's Story: Food as Solace

“The reason I love food is because it’s a place of solace as we take on the incredibly difficult and important work of making the world a better place. It reminds me that even amidst challenges, there’s room for nourishment, connection, and hope. That’s why I’m so passionate about our mission to support health, wealth, and resilience in communities in our home state and across the country.” 

Kate Krauss, CEO

Holly's Story: Driving Our Economy Through Food

I grew up in Flint and have lived most of my life in Michigan, a place known for its rich history in the automotive industry. At Fair Food Network, we’re building on that legacy of innovation by harnessing the power of food to drive the economy, create resilience, and support health. This work is deeply personal to me, not only creating positive change in my home state but in communities across the country.” 

Holly Parker, Chief Strategy and Program Officer

Alex's Story: Stronger Local Food Systems

“As a farmer, I know how hard it is to make a middle-class living growing and selling food. Too often, it feels like the system just isn’t set up for us to thrive. That’s why at Fair Food Network, we work with farmers and food businesses to create wind at their backs—helping them succeed, grow, and build resilience. This work is vital, and it takes continued support to build a stronger, fairer system for us all.”

Jessica's Story: Healthy Food As a Right

“A participant on our customer service line shared how our Double Up Food Bucks program changed her family’s life. Her daughter has specific dietary restrictions, and the fresh fruits and vegetables they accessed through our program had a profound impact on her daughter’s health and their family’s overall wellness. Stories like this remind me why our work matters so much. Together, we can continue making healthy, affordable food accessible to everyone.”
