MOUNTAINEER FOOD BANK HAS NEW DIRECTOR

(05/21/2015)
Justin Morrison has been appointed executive director of the financially troubled Mountaineer Food Bank in Gassaway.

The Mountaineer Food Bank serves most WV counties.

The bank has been financially restructuring since last year.

Morrison had been director of development, primarily working on grants, direct mail and the mobile pantry program, along with the food resourcing.

He has a bachelor's degree in sociology and anthropology from West Virginia University and earned a master's degree in sociology in 2012.

Mountaineer Food Bank board president Julie Harris says they believe Morrison is the right person to help lead the food bank's strategic growth in the future.
