Christina Dicksen selected United Food Bank board chair

United Food Bank, a local nonprofit that serves Arizonans in the East Valley and eastern Arizona who experience food insecurity, has a new board chair, Christina Dicksen.

Since 2019, Dicksen has served on the board of directors at United Food Bank and currently works as the director of communications at Experience Scottsdale, according to a release.

She also serves on the board of Waste Not, a Scottsdale-based nonprofit organization that works to assist those with food insecurity and an affiliate organization of United Food Bank, for the past 10 years. She discovered a passion for fighting hunger during her time with Waste Not and was inspired to continue that work with United Food Bank, the release states.

“Since 2019, I have had the honor of serving on the board of directors at United Food Bank and have witnessed firsthand the tremendous impact the organization has in the community each day,” Dicksen said in the release. “The food bank team and wide network of volunteers work tirelessly to meet the needs of our neighbors experiencing food insecurity and uplift those who may have fallen on hard or uncertain times. As someone who believes that food to eat is the most essential thing every human being deserves access to, it is a privilege to serve the organization in this role as United Food Bank continues to grow and expand its impact.”

“We are honored to have Christina Dicksen continue her role within United Food Bank’s Board of Directors as the new board chair,” Jason Reed, CEO of United Food Bank, said in the release. “Her support and passion for our mission are instrumental to the growth of this organization, and we are excited to see what she will accomplish in this new role. We are thankful to all of our Board of Directors for their dedication to fighting food insecurity in Arizona.”
