Our Team
Volunteers
The majority of our workforce are volunteers! Many of our volunteers are also clients. We are proud to be a community of friends and neighbors helping each other.
Greg Pratt
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. He enjoys hiking, skiing, and anything else that gets him out to the mountains of Colorado.
Revelry Rebel
Revelry has been a Bienvenidos staff member since 2022. Before joining Bienvenidos, she worked in several nonprofit roles, including post-adoption support and animal and cat rescue. After experiencing food insecurity herself when she was younger, Revelry felt that Bienvenidos was a natural fit when she was looking for a job closer to home. Since joining Bienvenidos, Revelry has grown tremendously in her role. She now manages food allocations and ordering and coordinates more than 100 volunteers. Food planning is one of her favorite parts of the job. She makes sure Bienvenidos has plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables for our clients. She also loves working with volunteers and especially values the sense of community and friendship she experiences every day. Revelry is grateful for the support and mentorship she has received from colleagues like Greg, Bienvenidos’ Director. She is continually amazed by what this dedicated group of people can accomplish together—and by the difference they make in the lives of people who need food assistance.
Jimmy Kiser
Jimmy’s family moved to Denver, where he graduated from Emanuel High School. After high school, he became self-employed and opened an aquarium maintenance business. When COVID hit, he needed to supplement his income with additional work and joined Bienvenidos. Jimmy is truly a jack-of-all-trades at Bienvenidos. As a driver, he picks up orders, stocks the storeroom and refrigerators, manages recycling and trash, and takes on whatever else needs to be done. He loves the variety of his job and especially enjoys working with the volunteers, whose dedication he finds humbling. When Jimmy first started at Bienvenidos, he was a little intimidated—he had never worked for someone else before. What he found was an incredibly caring group of people who quickly made him feel welcome. And one more thing you should know about Jimmy: he has a great sense of humor and brings smiles to everyone at Bienvenidos.
