can,” she says. “That’s my goal as a leader of Healthy New Albany; there are so many talented, gifted, caring people that want to serve, and if I can be someone who can bring those people together to bring out their gifts, if I can gather those people and help them to be their best person and bring out whatever gifts they have, I think that’s where we can really serve our community and do wonderful work.”
When Healthy New Albany Magazine last caught up with Douglas in 2017, she had recently brought the Village Coalition Against Hunger under the Healthy New Albany umbrella to become the New Albany Food Pantry. Now, as executive director of its parent organization, the food pantry still holds a special place in her heart. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com
