Tim Hagan, Financial Analyst for Fort Knox Federal Credit Union, recently stepped in to serve as the new President of the Board of Directors for Feeding America, Kentucky's Heartland (FAKH).
“We are very excited to have Tim Hagan take over as the Feeding America, Kentucky’s Heartland’s Board President,” says Gary Miles, Executive Director of FAKH. “Tim has been a member of our board for several years and now, as President, is ready to lead the organization to new heights in our battle to fight hunger throughout our region of Kentucky.”
Hagan has held several roles during his seven years of service to the local charity, including serving as FAKH’s Treasurer and Finance Committee Chairperson. With his CPA background and dedication to the organization’s mission, Hagan was a natural fit for these previous finance roles and his current position as Board President.
“For me personally, I can think of no greater service than making meaningful progress toward ending hunger in our 42-county service area,” says Hagan. “Our goal is to have no one go to bed hungry and with the continued support of the communities we serve, we are confident we can continue making great strides toward achieving that goal.”
The mission of Feeding America, Kentucky’s Heartland Food Bank is to serve those in need by acquiring and distributing donated food, grocery items and government commodities to those in need in 42 counties in central, south central and western Kentucky. This is done through a member network of approximately 200 partner agencies (food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, etc). Since establishment in 1982, FAKH has distributed almost 300 million pounds of food and grocery items, or 336 million meals through its various programs. FAKH’s vision is that no one will go to bed hungry in their 42 county service area, and they strive daily to make that vision a reality.
