Our Team
Volunteers
90% of our workforce are volunteers! Much of our volunteer help comes from our 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.
