“Food is a basic human need. Food shelves play a critical role in helping families lay the foundation for getting back on their feet when they’re experiencing a crisis.”
TED EVANS ’03, is multimedia marketing coordinator for the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches and its family of human service programs which are focused on fighting hunger, helping seniors, empowering urban Native Americans, nurturing families, and mentoring youth. A mass communications major at Winona State, Evans began his career in commercial radio and transferred the skills he learned to the non-profit world. “I grew up in fortunate circumstances but always felt compelled to give back,” says Evans. “I come in every day knowing that my work is important, that it’s going to do some good.”
