Motivated by a desire to help others, Jeanette joined the Blackfalds Food Bank Board of Directors in October 2014. Hearing an increased need for food assistance in the community, she lent a hand to be a part of the solution. Dedicating herself to the food bank mission has been a rewarding experience, and Jeanette loves every minute of it.

Jeanette brings a life filled with experience to the food bank. Her early career was at The Bay in Red Deer before moving to Blackfalds where she worked in a local grocery store and then spent ten years at Servus Credit Union. Jeanette is an active volunteer, further demonstrating her commitment to making a positive impact and currently serving as
the Secretary of the local seniors’ club.

Born in Rimbey and growing up in Red Deer, Jeanette married in 1970 and moved to Blackfalds to raise her family. She loves going to Bulldogs’ hockey games, crocheting, walking, riding her bike, meeting up with friends and hanging out with family.
