Raleigh, NC – Following a five-month national search, the Board of Directors has named Ron Pringle the President and CEO of Inter-Faith Food Shuttle effective June 1, 2020. With nearly 20 years of experience in nonprofit leadership and extensive experience in the Feeding America network, the Board of Directors is excited by the possibilities that his leadership will bring to the Food Shuttle.
