Description

Julie has been the Executive Director of Food Outreach since 2016. Food Outreach provides nutritional interventions to people living in the St. Louis region diagnosed with HIV/AIDS or cancer whose incomes are at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level.  She graduated from FOCUS Leadership St. Louis in 2020 and currently serves on a committee working on building Black individual, household and business capacity in the St. Louis region. 

Key Takeaways:

• You need trust to get anything done - instill a “love bubble” culture in your organization to be more effective
• Think about where each volunteer is coming from, figure out what motivates them and what made them join your organization 
• Empathy and compassion should be dispensed not only to your target group or community, but also inside your organization, towards your volunteers 
• Your organization needs a culture of consistent building of positive morale and mutual trust in each other 

“What we bear witness to here is love, the opportunity to give without expecting anything in return - that's really what a volunteer is” - Julie Lock
