In Assemblymember Grayson's words: “Caitlin has spent her career fighting hunger in Contra Costa County. After 12 years with Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, she joined Meals on Wheels Diablo Region as Executive Director in January of 2020. Guiding the organization through the COVID-19 pandemic, she was able to expand programs and create new initiatives that help provide more food to low-income seniors in our community.

Caitlin is deeply involved in our community and currently serves on the Board of Directors of Meals on Wheels California, the Greater Concord CA Chamber of Commerce, and the Walnut Creek Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau. She is committed to advocating on behalf of underserved elders so that they can remain healthy and independent.

I'm thrilled to be able to shine a light on Caitlin's work to fight hunger in our community, and to recognize her with this well-deserved honor.”
