Ann Wiard is the Director of the Bristol Good Neighbors Soup Kitchen. Ann comes to Bristol Good Neighbors after spending a year working as an AmeriCorps*Vista (Volunteers in Service to America) in the Washington, DC area. She recruited, trained, and supervised volunteers for A Wider Circle.  Ann grew up in a small town in central Ohio, graduated from Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, Ohio, and was a catering manager for a Panera store in Columbus, Ohio, before joining AmeriCorps. Ann plans to use both her food service experience and her volunteer coordinating skills at Bristol Good Neighbors. Ann is excited about providing an open and caring environment to anyone who chooses to visit it the soup kitchen and food pantry as a diner, for food assistance, or as a volunteer.

Timothy is our Food Pantry Manager.  He came to Bristol Good Neighbors as a member of East Bay Community Action Programs (EBCAP) AmeriCorps team.   Tim grew up in Newport and served in the navy, which allowed him to travel to many foreign ports from the North Cape of Norway to the warm Mediterranean.  After that, he served the Town of Barrington as a career firefighter / EMTC.  Along with his wife Kristianti, who he met while on vacation in Bali, Tim is proudly raising his two daughters. (Jennifer and Natalie)  Tim is inspired by all the great people who volunteer their time serving folks who come to BGN for food and other services.
