Our Team
At Community Co-Pack NW it is our mission to foster a more equitable and inclusive consumer products industry.
True to our vision, we practice shared leadership and collaborative decision-making.
We are a team of community-centered entrepreneurs, diverse in background, experience and knowledge. Together we have more than 30 years of experience in the food industry. We have founded and led food businesses, operated restaurants, worked in food distribution, planted seeds and harvested CSAs and worked too many farmers market booths, vendor fairs and trade shows to count.
