Greg Austin
Director of Distribution Initiatives, 412 Food Rescue
CFO, Fet-Fisk Restaurant

Greg Austin comes from a culinary background, so while some of his work with 412 Food Rescue is familiar, much of it is new.

“I’m hoping to bring my for-profit experience into it in a way that’s helpful and doesn’t obfuscate the mission,” he says.

As the director of distribution initiatives at 412 Food Rescue, Austin assesses and designs a multitude of programs. One of his main roles is as the leader of the Good Food Project; alongside his team and volunteers, Austin takes donated, miscellaneous ingredients and turns them into meals for food-insecure communities, making anywhere from 800 to 1,300 meals per week.

“People come and devote their time to helping our mission,” he says. “It’s really inspiring and a pleasure to see the different personalities and walks of life that come to do that.”
