Michele Grear

Michele leads the Supply and Inventory Management teams. Her team is responsible for sourcing the food through donations, government allocations and purchases as well as managing the accuracy and integrity of the warehouse inventory.

Michele is originally from the Windy City, Chicago and is a graduate of Loyola University of Chicago with a BA in Political Science and Sociology. She loves people, different cultures and travel. She built a successful 30 year career in fashion holding many positions from Store Manager to Merchandiser to Head of Production and Sourcing for such brands as The Gap, Anthropologie, Eddie Bauer, Tommy Hilfiger and Edun.

Michele has had the privilege to visit many countries and factories and was always drawn to the factory workers and surrounding communities. Her passion was for the human condition which pushed her to improve the conditions of the workers in the factories she encountered. Thus her life transition to the Atlanta Community Food Bank is very natural.
