Name and title: Tonya Post, Director of Programs
What does at typical day at IFFS look like for you?
I oversee the coordination and administration of all aspects of ongoing programs including planning, organizing, leading, and monitoring program activities--that means BackPack Buddies, Hands On Health, Food and Nutrition Services Outreach, etc. There are no typical days. I have the pleasure of working with numerous community partners such as Advocates for Health in Action, Partnership for a Healthy Durham, Obesity and Chronic Illness subcommittee, community volunteer groups and funders! So from delivering lunches to writing reports to building relationships to supporting Food Shuttle staff and leadership I stay busy.
