Kaitlyn Ganrude
AmeriCorps Food Bank Coordinator
Kaitlyn is originally from La Crosse, Wisconsin. During her college career at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse, Kaitlyn decided to pursue a degree in Public Health/Community Health Education. She found that this path aligned well with her broad desire to help communities through the avenues Public Health offered. Once finished with her degree, Kaitlyn decided to join AmeriCorps NCCC as a way to get hands-on experience with communities in need. Here, she served as a Team Leader, traveling across the United States working on a variety of projects from COVID-19 relief, environmental stewardship, urban development, and healthy futures. It was also here that Kaitlyn found her a strong affinity for non-profit work, and fighting food insecurity. After serving several months in Durango, CO working on food security, Kaitlyn found that she would like to help communities create sustainable food systems that provide access to nutritious food for all in socially conscious ways.
Kaitlyn is working with PSLA as an AmeriCorps member along with three others. She is new to the Seattle area, so she is grateful to have such a welcoming and friendly team of people to work with. She also loves being active outdoors and will happily take any hiking recommendations at any time.
