Volunteering regularly as a bank employee for a number of local nonprofits, Susan connected with Store to Door after coordinating teams of bankers to volunteer as shoppers during the COVID-19 pandemic! Inspired by our program’s mission, Susan is looking forward to deepening her commitment with Store to Door through board leadership.

“Store to Door’s mission struck a chord in my heart that nudged me to meet with the Executive Director and learn about the positive impact food delivery service is making in the lives of so many Oregonians.  It’s a mission to feed the soul as well as the body with regular, supportive contact for so many individuals who may not have social contact otherwise.”

A native Oregonian born in Klamath Falls, Susan and her wife now live in Happy Valley with their two cats, and enjoy traveling, cross-country skiing, entertaining, and staying active. While they now live on their own, Susan’s two sons regularly visit for a hot meal and conversation. In additional to her regular volunteer work throughout the community, Susan is a member of New Thought Center for Spiritual Living in Lake Oswego.

In addition to her regular Board role, Susan looks forward to making an impact with our program’s Equity Team. “It is my desire to contribute insight and learn how we can expand Store to Door’s service to the many diverse communities we are privileged to have amongst us,” Susan says.

We are excited to add Susan’s strong professional background and commitment to the vital need served by our program to our Board of Directors, and to bring her skillset to bear on our work sustaining independence for homebound seniors and adults living with disabilities across Portland. We hope you will help us welcome Susan to the Store to Door family!
