Good Shepherd Food Bank names chief advancement officer
After a nationwide search, Good Shepherd Food Bank of Maine has promoted Robin McCarthy to chief advancement officer.
McCarthy will focus on building sustainable fundraising success and driving awareness of the food bank’s mission to end hunger in Maine with collaboration and inclusivity.
“As a kid from central Maine who boomeranged back to Maine after gathering early work experiences elsewhere, it means a lot to me to be able to work toward a stronger, food-secure future for families in our state,” McCarthy told Mainebiz.
“The team at the Food Bank is the made up of passionate, gifted professionals, and I look am thrilled to take this step forward together,” she continued. “We have a lot of work to do to achieve food security for everyone in Maine, and together, I know we can do it.
McCarthy joined the food bank’s development and communications division in 2019 and has worked for nonprofits since 2006 in fundraising roles since 2016.
She has held leadership roles at MainePublic and Sustainable Harvest International, as well as positions with environmental and literary organizations.
McCarthy received her bachelor's degree in psychology and anthropology from Kenyon College and her master’s in writing from Northern Michigan University.
“Her deep understanding of our food security work, care for her team and our partners and unshakable leadership traits make her a perfect fit for the role,” said Heather Paquette, president of Good Shepherd Food Bank. “Robin is a creative thinker and demonstrates resiliency and adaptability through all the challenges she faces. She is ready to lead the next chapter of our work towards achieving food security for everyone in Maine.”
Good Shepherd Food Bank of Maine is the largest hunger relief organization in Maine. It provides Mainers facing hunger by distributing nutritious food to more than 400 partner agencies across the state, including food pantries, meal sites, schools, and senior programs.
Paquette said last week at the Mainebiz panel discussion on "60 ideas in 60 minutes" that the organization “is delivering over 40 million meals, and food insecurity is rising.”
