Jill began volunteering with the Newton Food Pantry’s Newton’s Community Table fundraising event in 2015. She handled event planning, decor and design of all promotional materials. In 2020, Jill became part of the freedge launch team – designing the logo and shed, and managing construction. Then, in spring of 2021, Jill designed our new logo and handled all aspects of the rebranding. 

Jill is a creative/art director with her own business where she offers marketing, communications and design work for a variety of clients. Her unique blend of creativity and organizational skills makes for a great and much-needed addition to the Newton Food Pantry. She, and an amazing communication team, handles all aspects of outward communications including an annual plan and schedule, social media, newsletters, blasts, flyers and posters, photoshoots, and event planning and promotion.

As Communications Director, Jill’s favorite part of being a volunteer is educating and connecting someone in need with the Newton Food Pantry’s services.
