New Retail Recovery Coordinator Named at Food Bank for Westchester

White Plains resident Stephen Sullivan has been named the new coordinator of the Retail Recovery Program for the Food Bank for Westchester, the group which serves the county’s 200,000 residents who “face chronic food insecurity.”

Sullivan will oversee the management of large scale collection of food donations from supermarkets, grocers and specialty food stores – food that would otherwise go to waste – and getting it directly into the hands of Westchester’s hungry through local member programs. New to the Food Bank’s Retail Recovery Program is a16-foot Freightliner truck, made possible through a generous grant from PepsiCo, that will double the current program’s capacity of 271,000 meals provided.

Prior to joining the Food Bank, Sullivan performed building inspections for Technical Insurance Services and served as construction manager for Habitat for Humanity of Westchester.

“The recent acquisition of our new PepsiCo funded truck will help the Food Bank maximize the impact of our retail recovery efforts—letting us reach even more retail locations to feed even more needy people in every corner of the county,” said Ellen Lynch, President and CEO of the Food Bank for Westchester, in a statement. “We are thrilled to welcome Stephen on board to underscore our commitment to the expansion of this critical program, and are confident that his experience, resourcefulness and dedication to community service will be a great asset to our organization.”
