Chelsea Consalo was recently elected the new vice president of Spirit & Truth Ministries/Vineland Soup Kitchen, which works with the community and local churches to provide hot nutritious lunches to the low income and homeless population in the surrounding community.
“As Chelsea is a respected member of the surrounding community and with her background in her family business, we felt this is just what Spirit & Truth Ministries needed for our organization to lead us to a new level of serving and helping the less fortunate,” said Matt Milam, president.
“We are excited and look forward to having Chelsea’s guidance and attention to detail to lead us into a new chapter,” said Raquel Soto, executive director. “We are confident in her abilities to take on the tasks that she will be charged with, to continue our mission of feeding the food insecure in our community.”
“I am very honored and humbled, to say the least, that the board of directors has elected me vice president to this great organization that has been spiritually serving the very ones that just need a hand up, a nutritious meal every day for over 40 years,” said Consalo. “I look forward to seeing that this mission continues doing just that.”
