Message from the Director
Hello my name is Timothy Baumbach, Executive Director of the Central
Downtown Food Basket. I started in April of 1990 with a goal in mind, to feed
those in need with as much dignity and respect as I would want given to me in
that situation. I am not the average director. I don’t wear suits, or have a big
office. If you were to happen by on a Wednesday, you would see me in jeans
and a shirt busy unloading food with my wife of 25 years and setting up the
food distribution program for Thursday’s giveaway. My office, well it’s just big
enough for me and my 88 year old administrative assistant who has been with
me from the beginning (wouldn’t trade her for the world). Volunteers make up
a huge part of CDFB and without them this large undertaking wouldn’t be
possible. Everybody who comes and receives food has a story and that story
should be heard. Sometimes we are the only outlet for that to happen. It is not
my right to judge, I think we all know whose job that is. My job is to listen and
yes learn as well from people who still have a voice. As a director, I feel it is my
responsibility to be involved from the time I open until the last bag is given
out. I walk the lines to make sure everyone’s needs are met or help them
obtain their goals via other agencies. I have met some wonderful people over
the years that have helped me and continue to do so this very day with my
mission in feeding the hungry. I look forward to meeting and working with more
that have the same vision as I do, helping those in need. I love my job and I am
going into my 20th year. I still see a lot more that needs to be done. But one
day, one step and one hug at a time and it will be accomplished.
Sincerely,
Timothy Baumbach (Tim)
