The Westside Shelter and Hunger Coalition paid tribute to two outgoing board members at our monthly meeting in July: WSHC Chair & OPCC Executive Director, John Maceri and WSHC Treasurer & Westside Food Bank Executive Director, Bruce Rankin. Members shared their appreciation and stories and Santa Monica Mayor Pro Tempore Gleam Davis presented City commendations to John and Bruce for their service (see photo below, courtesy of Charles Haskell).
John and Bruce have volunteered many, many hours to the Coalition’s cause of working to end hunger and homelessness on the Westside; combined, their leadership spanned over 10 years of service. While John and Bruce remain active members of the Coalition through the participation of their respective agencies, their leadership and guidance will be sorely missed!
