Board of Directors
Meet Our Hard-working Board Members
OFFICERS
Philip Kerrigan is the Director of Development & Marketing at TVW. He has been on the Board since 2023. “I have been blessed with a life filled with gifts. I believe it is my obligation to pass those blessings on to others. As the father of 3 young kids, I want to make the world better for them.”
Megan Hubbard is a retired Pediatrician who joined the board in 2022. “I appreciate the food bank’s focus on the human dignity of people in need as it addresses food insecurity in our community.”
Steve Hall is a retired Olympia City Manager. He became a Board member in 2022. “The Food Bank has a simple mission: feed anyone who needs food, especially children.”
Glenn Waugh retired from the U.S. Department of the Interior as a Natural Resources Specialist after 47 years of working with disturbed coal mine lands. He joined the Board in January 2019. “While working, raising two sons and coaching high school athletics, I supported the TCFB financially for many years. Now that I’m retired, my sons are grown and I no longer coach, I decided to do more than just write a check by serving as a Board member with this essential community resource.”
Bruce Wollstein is a retired program management director from Intel Corporation and has lived in Olympia for 27 years. He joined the board in 2019. “Our family has been active with the Thurston County Food Bank since we moved to the community and always believed in the idea of the food bank being a place where ‘neighbors are helping neighbors’. Working with the Board allows me to help my neighbors in the South Sound in different ways and leaves me with a great feeling while doing that.”
