Troy Tollestrup, Warehouse
I was born and raised in Lethbridge and graduated from Allan Watson High School in 1992. From 1993 to 1995, I served a two-year mission in Iowa for the Mormon Church. I have been involved in various community campaigns, including Target Hunger. In my spare time, I enjoy league bowling and going to the gym. I also enjoy hockey, but despise the Edmonton Oilers! I started at the Interfaith Food Bank in late 2004, and have been working here ever since. I work in the warehouse sorting food and keeping the shelves stocked. I also assist in various other capacities, such as building hampers and moving goods around the warehouse.
Colleen Vredegoor, Donor Relations
I was born in the Crows Nest Pass and raised in Lethbridge. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 30 yeas and we have 1 daughter who now lives in Vancouver. We reside on a small farm just outside the city. It has always been my passion to be able to work in an organization where I felt like what I did made a difference in someone's life that brought me to work at Interfaith Food Bank. Other than an interim break, I have been working with Interfaith since 2000 and look forward to many more years.
Gladys Karanja, Client Intake Supervisor
I moved to Lethbridge four and a half years ago to attend the University of Lethbridge. I recently completed my Bachelor of Arts and Science in Political Science. Prior to being employed here, I started out as a volunteer and I loved it. When the opportunity came up for Client Intake Supervisor, I was humbled to be offered the position. I am excited to be a part of the Interfaith Food Bank.
Courtnay Epp, Kitchen Coordinator
I was born and raised in Cranbrook, BC, and had lived there my whole life until moving to Edmonton, Alberta, after completing high school. In 2005, I graduated from the University of Alberta with a BSc. in Nutrition and Food Science. From there I moved back to Cranbrook, got married to my wonderful husband Jamie and started looking for work in the nutrition field. Very shortly after, we both landed jobs in Lethbridge where I started work in Nutrition Services at the hospital. I later moved on to the contracted position of Kitchen Coordinator at the Interfaith Chinook Country Kitchen. That is where I currently reside and couldn’t be happier since I have a love for cooking and community based work. Recently, Family Centre has taken me on as an employee and I am very pleased and excited to be part of a new work family. In my spare time my husband and I do a lot of travelling back to BC as both our families live there. In the summer time I love to play slow pitch (I’m a huge baseball fan) and enjoy many outdoor activities. In the off season I like to go to the gym and play other sports like badminton.
