We are delighted to introduce Sal Gonzalez, our newest Route Representative, who joins our Operations Team with a wealth of leadership and driving experience.

Logging 75,833 miles last year, Route Reps are more than just drivers – they are at the heart of what we do. 

A Marine Corps veteran, Sal brings not only a strong work ethic but also decades of valuable experience in warehouses and on the road. Sal’s impressive career includes receiving a Certificate of Commendation for his exemplary training and instructional work. With 15 years of experience in retail and production management, particularly in grocery and food manufacturing, Sal is well-equipped to streamline operations and ensure the highest standards of efficiency and quality. Additionally, Sal brings 15 years’ of experience driving commercial trucks, both semi and straight trucks.

Previously the 2023 Summer Meals Coordinator at Hunger Task Force, her transition to the Development Team is a testament to her commitment to our mission of combating hunger and poverty.

“Giving back to my community has always been very important to me and something I have done my whole life. I hope to continue making a positive impact on the community through my work as Volunteer Coordinator.”
