OPERATIONS TEAM
DANISHA LUGO
Logistics Specialist
Danisha plays an integral role in fighting hunger at the food bank. She may be the first person who greets you at the door or the first voice you hear on the phone, but in addition to that, Danisha is instrumental in scheduling, organizing, and reporting for our programs, all while interacting and keeping our partner charities happy. One of Danisha's favorite things to do is spend time with her girls at the "happiest place on earth"...Disneyland!
PAOLA MONTES
Receptionist
Paola joins FARSB with a bubbly personality and an excitement to help those in need. Serving at the warehouse front desk, Paola is typically the first face our partner charities see when they stop by. Beyond her food bank duties, Paola aspires to become a Registered Nurse. Some may be surprised to know that Paola is the ultimate girly girl. She loves the color pink, makeup, shopping, and Disneyland! Her favorite quote is, "God is within her, she will not fall."
CESAR SOLORZANO
Cesar is active in and outside of the food bank. When he is not helping prepare much needed USDA food for distribution, he enjoys watching sports and spending time with his daughter and son. Cesar is a fan of dancing and music, though he admits he is not the best dancer. When asked what he likes the most about working at the food bank, he responded, "working at the food bank is fulfilling. Everyday brings an endless bounty of opportunity."
RIGO SALAZAR
As a native of the Los Angeles region, Rigo has fallen for Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. He hopes to help the members of the community who have welcomed him and his family to the area by eliminating hunger. His two biggest loves are his son and cars.
SAM TURNER
Sam is one of the most experienced members of our team with nearly 20 years at FARSB! From inventory to physical counts he keeps the loading zone in tip-top shape! Sam has an exceptional work ethic and truly values the importance of his work. On weekends, he enjoys comic books, movies, and audio books.
TYRELL WILLIAMS
During his time here, Tyrell has used his friendly and relaxed personality to befriend staff, visitors, and partner charities alike. He thinks FARSB is a special place where hunger ends and team building begins. Among his many talents, Tyrell enjoys cooking a variety of cultural cuisines. He also has an impressive 3-point shot on the basketball court.
