Ann Hill, Executive Director (she/her)
Ann was once a business lawyer, caught up in the giant corporate rat race for too long before moving to the nonprofit side of things. She was in Development for an organization providing food for children internationally, before joining TCFJ to lead the charge in reducing food waste and food insecurity closer to home. Ann is obsessed with anything living on a farm and weaving rugs and blankets. Also, she loves taking people new to TCFJ on a food rescue - just ask her!
Kyla Goux, Operations Manager (they/them)
Kyla has been TCFJ’s Ops Manager since the spring of 2024. Their background in research and interests in sustainability & regenerative agriculture led them to TCFJ, and is excited to continue collaborations with our Twin Cities communities in need. They love gardening, spending time with their service dog, Marla, and arts & crafts.
Mary O’Toole, Volunteer Manager (she/her)
Mary has been involved in food rescue efforts for more than 10 years. She is profoundly inspired by TCFJ volunteers: you all are so generous with your time, efforts, and resources - every day you demonstrate your respect for the dignity of each and every human being! When Mary’s not involved in food rescue/food justice, she’s a professional picture framer and a baker. She loves FaceTimes with her adult kids, all-day bike rides, 20K rowing races, and treks with her dog, Fozzie. "A body in motion tends to stay in motion.” That’s her!
Jane Malenfant, Farm Expert (she/her)
Jane is a contract employee for TCFJ. She manages Thistledown Farm, a 25-acre family farm in Minnesota that raises Scottish Highland cows, Hungarian Mangalitsa pigs, and chickens.
