Welcome Skylar Rippard: Introducing Target Hunger’s New Volunteer Manager!

We are thrilled to welcome Skylar Rippard to the Target Hunger team as our new Volunteer Manager! Skylar initially joined Target Hunger as an intern from University of Houston Downtown on the Client Services team. She graduated from UHD with a degree in Computer Science in December and we are delighted she joined us full-time in January to step into the role working with our volunteers. She brings passion and dedication to our mission of alleviating food insecurity and building a stronger community. As we embark on this exciting new chapter, we want to take a moment to introduce Skylar and give you the opportunity to get to know her better. We sat down with Skylar to ask a few “get to know me” questions, and we’re excited to share her answers with you.
