Liv Carlson is our Food Program Director. She left her corporate job for a more fulfilling career path and landed on our team, hallelujah! You can thank her for curating weekly menus, baking, and making all those yummy cookies. She loves to experiment with new recipes and level-up her skills with GF/V options. Liv says living in the same neighborhood as Drifter makes her feel even closer to our community. And, she loves being a part of a business whose values align with her own. (How sweet!) Special thanks to everyone who brings their dogs and lets her pet them.
