SUMMER 2022
FOOD BANK WELCOMES NEW FINANCE DIRECTOR The Food Bank of North Alabama has hired a new Finance Director, Liz Rice. Rice graduated from the University of North Alabama with a bachelor’s degree in professional management and accounting and has 10 years experience in accounting and human resources, including working for Huntsville Hospital and most recently for the local Popeyes franchise, where she managed their accounting and human resources for multiple locations. Rice moved to North Alabama with her family when she was 14 years old, moving to Mooresville from California and now is married with four kids. She is also a notary public. “I look forward to learning more about nonprofits and all the ways we help the community,” Rice said. “I’m happy to be working here and I love the mission. I didn’t understand everything the Food Bank did until I started working here. I didn’t realize we were a hub for all the organizations in our area that need food as part of their mission.”
