Greg has 25 years of leadership in the nonprofit sector. He first became involved with Bienvenidos Food Bank as a volunteer in 2007 and has also served as the organization’s interim director, board member, and consultant. He has served as Executive Director since 2011. Pratt was selected for Hunger Free Colorado and Denver Foundation’s “Full Lives, Full Pantries” think tank which helped create the Colorado Food Pantry Network and contributed to the publication of the Food Pantry Best Practices Handbook. He was also one of the first members of the Food Exchange Resource Network – a collaborative food pantry warehouse. Pratt was born in North Denver and lives in the neighborhood with his family today.
