Board Spotlight - Joe Black

Joe joined the CROS Board of Directors in 2010 and served through 2019 before rotating off and joining the Board again in 2022. He connected with CROS through the Society of St. Andrew’s Gleaning Network, whom he had worked with in Virginia before moving to Florida. Joe said, “As a farmer, my God given talents revolve around food production and feeding people.” He has used these talents to help CROS grow our own gleaning program while also providing a strategic and well-rounded perspective on our Board. When asked why he continues to volunteer with CROS he said, “It's simple… because of good people, good cause, and tremendous need!!!” We greatly appreciate Joe sharing his limited time with us between farming and also volunteering in different capacities at his church. Thank you, Joe for your time, talents, and expertise helping CROS Ministries to serve the hungry in our community!
