Stephanie is currently the Healthy Living Director at the Lowe’s YMCA. Stephanie has been at the YMCA for over 24 years providing leadership in exercise and community health, which includes nutritional services and Chronic Disease prevention. The YMCA is not just a gym but a cause- driven organization putting Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Food is an essential part of being physically healthy and keeping your mind and spirit healthy. Food fuel’s us for everyday tasks including thinking and learning. FeedNC provides one of life’s necessities to survive. FeedNC helps our community to love one another through food, compassion, dignity and respect with no regards to differences. As a child Stephanie experienced food insecurity and is very happy to help others have a safe place where they can get a meal or groceries instead of begging on the streets.
