Mary’s Kitchen, a vital nonprofit serving those in need, has announced that Richard Crumbacker will be its next Executive Director. He will be shadowing current Executive Director Jim Godfrey over the next month before officially stepping into the role upon Godfrey’s retirement.
The Board of Directors shared the news on social media, celebrating Crumbacker’s appointment and recognizing Godfrey’s years of dedication.
“I’m glad to have been given the opportunity to continue growing a wonderful organization, following in the footsteps of the great work Jim Godfrey has done during his time as Executive Director of Mary’s Kitchen,” said Crumbacker.
