Food Bank for Westchester Promotes Yorktown Resident

The Food Bank for Westchester has announced the promotion of Toby Pidgeon, Director of Operations to the position of Vice President, Operations.

An employee of the Food Bank for the last 10 years, the Yorktown resident played a major role in moving the organization to its Elmsford location from a smaller facility in Millwood.

That helped the Food Bank—the county’s largest provider of services, resources and education to meet the needs of the 200,000 Westchester residents that face chronic food insecurity—increase its capacity and expand its resources to meet the chronic demand for hunger relief throughout the county.

In his new position, Pidgeon will serve as a key member of the leadership team and will oversee all food distribution programs and food sourcing from donors and vendors.

“This is a much deserved recognition of Toby’s contribution to the success of the Food Bank over the years,” said Ellen Lynch, President and CEO of the Food Bank. “In his new role, Toby will leverage his extensive knowledge of all aspects of our operations to help the Food Bank take major steps in addressing the critically serious issue of hunger in Westchester County.”

Pidgeon was previously a project manager for Glenmanor Designs, a company that remodeled low-income apartments. Pidgeon began working at the Food Bank for Westchester as a nutrition resource manager before moving into the position of Director of Operations.
