SLFHC Board of Directors Starting 2025
The San Lorenzo Family Help Center is a team of non-paid individuals coming together with a common purpose – to defeat hunger in Alameda County.
Chris began volunteering with San Lorenzo Family Help Center in 2021 and joined the organization’s Board beginning of 2024. He continues to regularly volunteer by picking up food from various grocery store donors and delivers to the pantry for distribution to those less fortunate families who are in need of nutritious food. His continued involvement is driven by the need to see the organization achieve its future growth goals and the positive impact the growing organization’s programs have on the local East Bay communities.
Chris has 35+ years experience in banking and finance in the Greater Bay Area and held various positions in branch operations, sales, commercial underwriting, and relationship and executive management. Chris currently serves as VP, Commercial Team Leader with Technology Credit Union and is responsible for building quality commercial banking relationships with Bay Area, middle market family owned businesses and numerous non-profits. He earned a B.S degree from San Jose State in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. In his down time, Chris enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, motorcycling, golfing, and enjoying time at the beach.
Before joining the Board of Directors as Treasurer in January 2025, Peter started as a volunteer in 2022. Besides helping with food sorting, set up, clean up, and servicing the clients he also drives the van to help with food recovery and to work at the mobile pantry sites.
Recently retired, he worked over 40 years in the wholesale floral distribution business as a manager and studied Business Administration at Florida International University. He has served as a volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America for over 20 years in different leadership positions within a Cub Scout Pack and Boy Scout Troop.
Peter is quoted – “As a resident of San Lorenzo for over 20 years, working with the San Lorenzo Family Help Center is a great way to help others and give back to the community.”

Alexa joined the board in 2025 as a commitment to engage and partner with the community in a tangible way. As a fulltime County Nurse Practitioner, she has worked with unhoused and uninsured populations and has seen the ways that a lack of access to nutritious food can severely impact health outcomes and the disproportionate effects on people of color and minoritized groups. As a child of immigrants from the Philippines, she finds it important to support systems that dignify and protect immigrant families. As a relatively new mother to a rambunctious toddler, she hopes to set an example for him in how to tangibly respond with compassion to the needs of her community.
Being part of the San Lorenzo Family Help Center is something she hopes would deepen her understanding of systemic issues (both in large and more micro, nuanced, contextual scales) as well as grow her connections to the community. She looks forward to getting to know the community better and for all the learning along the way!

Lisa believes her service work is her rent here on Earth. It is her way of giving back and making sure everyone gets a piece of the pie. She brings years of hands-on experience in food rescue and a deep commitment to community service to her role as a board member. With long time roots in Hayward, San Leandro, San Lorenzo and Oakland cities, Lisa has dedicated herself to reducing food waste and increasing food access in the neighborhoods she calls home.
Lisa has actively supported local schools through PTA leadership and continues to take part in activities that uplift children. Helping fundraise for school/teachers projects is a very important goal that she meets with the community’s help each year.
Professionally, Lisa has been working with a nonprofit serving San Francisco’s marginalized communities—specifically supporting unhoused individuals and those impacted by substance use. She has been a part of the first program of its kind in the U.S., offering community-centered care to those often overlooked, specializing in harm reduction and overdose prevention.
Her commitment to reducing food insecurity and empowering underserved populations is very important to her. She is excited for this new adventure and looking forward to contributing and learning new things as a board member.
