LaDrea Clark has shown dedication to the community and to CSA throughout her 20 years of service in roles including Volunteer Coordinator, and now Food and Nutrition Center Director.

LaDrea is responsible for making sure everyone in need in our community has access to groceries, regardless of their situation. She has a unique ability to hear all voices and support everyone she encounters, including people facing truly difficult circumstances. When CSA is short on volunteers, she steps in and helps out every single time. Giving back to the community is a key value for her; when she is not hard at work at CSA, she volunteers on the board of the Mountain View Public Safety Foundation.

In her time leading CSA’s Food and Nutrition Center, LaDrea has re-organized the pantry to a just-in-time model, drastically reducing the amount of food CSA has had to store and manage onsite and reducing food waste. She has been instrumental in the retention of countless volunteers, without whom CSA’s programs could not run. Moving the Food and Nutrition Center to a temporary location and moving it back to our home at Stierlin over the past year was another challenge to which LaDrea rose.

We are so grateful for LaDrea’s service!
