Staff

OUR SMALL BUT MIGHTY TEAM

River City Food Bank is a grass-roots community effort, but these two part-time professionals make sure that our program is run with integrity and efficiency.

Eileen Thomas
Executive Director

Eileen has deep roots in the Sacramento community, as a fourth generation resident. After serving as the admissions director for a local Catholic girls’ high school, Eileen joined RCFB as its executive director in 2003. Eileen sees the executive director position as a way to use her professional skills, and serve others in need.

Steve Anderson
Program Director

Since 1998, Steve has run the day-to-day operation of River City Food Bank, overseeing the process of client intake (to verify eligibility), food distribution and other services, such as motel vouchers. Steve has a deep understanding of the reasons people need help from organizations like RCFB, having served as an RCFB volunteer before being invited to become a staff member.

Edith Martinez
Food Stamp Outreach Coordinator

Edith grew up in the Bay Area and attended UC Davis, where she became involved in a clinic serving the uninsured population of Sacramento. Upon graduation, she sought to continue to serve the Sacramento community. As Food Stamp Outreach Coordinator for River City Food Bank, her goal is to reach out to families and individuals in need and to help those who are eligible for Food Stamps enroll and access healthy food for their families.
