Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors is committed to the vision of ending hunger in Quinte West. It is composed of local community members with a diverse range of skills and experiences who are dedicated to serving the community.

Marg Korver

Chairperson

I am presently the Chair for the Board of Directors of the Trenton Care and Share Food Bank. As a retired elementary school teacher, I witnessed how important daily healthy food is for children to learn well. In retirement, I was a volunteer at my church doing benevolence work in the local community and became aware of a position available at the Food Bank, I applied and have been on the Board since 2020.

Carol Gilbert

Vice Chairperson

Carole began her food bank volunteering in 2006 at Pinecrest Community Centre in Ottawa. When Carole and Roger moved to Brighton in 2008, she joined the Friday morning volunteers to distribute food at the Trenton Care and Share Food Bank. In 2011, Carole was asked by the Trenton Wesleyan Church board to be their representative on the Trenton Care and Share Food Bank Board. She has had the honour of serving as Chair and is currently holding the position of Vice Chair. Through her association with TCSFB she has seen the great need we have in the Quinte West area for our food bank. It has also led to her volunteering at Catherine’s Kitchen and Community Partners for Success. Through her association with these organizations, she had had the pleasure of working with people dedicated to helping improve the lives of those living on our community. She hopes to be able to help the people of Quinte West for many more years to come.
