Reverend Karen Heavey of Danbury has been appointed to the position of Managing Director of the Twin Rivers Interfaith Food Pantry, located at “the little brown church” (St Jude’s Episcopal Church) on Central Street in Franklin. “Reverend Karen” began her duties on February 5.

As Managing Director of the pantry, Karen will oversee an eight-town area – Danbury, Andover, Hill, Franklin, Salisbury, Tilton, Northfield, and Sanbornton – with a population near 30,000. During 2015, the pantry provided 277,449 meals to the food-insecure in that footprint.

Karen takes the helm at the retirement of Esther Cain, who served in that capacity for over 10 years. Esther and her husband Phil are moving to South Carolina at the end of February. We will “miss her bright eyes and sweet smile.”
