WHO WE ARE
The Little Elm Area Food Bank is a nonprofit organization based in Little Elm, Texas, dedicated to providing food assistance, resources, and volunteer opportunities. Our team is comprised of passionate individuals committed to addressing food insecurity in our community. From our dedicated volunteers to our hardworking staff and board, we all work together to ensure that families in need receive the support they require.
Executive Director
Joseph Bradley
Hired in October of 2024, Joseph is not new to serving others. After spending 20 years serving the United Methodist Church in various roles, from local pastor and youth minister to overseas missionary, he has now turned his attention to addressing the challenges of food insecurity in the Elm area. He is always thinking about how we can expand the work we do to serve more people and provide more volunteer opportunities for groups as well as individuals.
Volunteers
We could not provide the services that we do without the many dedicated volunteers who give their time and energy to the food bank. That said, we are always looking for more people to help serve our neighbors. If you or someone you know is interested, click below to find out how you can get involved!
Board of Directors
The Little Elm Area Food Bank, a recognized 501(c)(3), is guided by a dedicated board of members who serve three-year terms. These board members are elected by the volunteers who attend our annual member meeting, ensuring that our leadership reflects the values and commitment of our community. Each board member volunteers at least 30 hours a year and most even more. Their oversight helps us effectively serve those in need and uphold our mission.
