Piscataquis Regional Food Center Welcomes New Members to Board of Directors

April 2, 2026, Dover-Foxcroft, Maine — Piscataquis Regional Food Center (PRFC) is pleased to announce the addition of five new members to its Board of Directors, bringing a diverse range of experience and community leadership to support the organization’s mission.

Joining the board in Fall 2025, John McNamara, owner of the Guilford Bed & Breakfast and founder of Piscataquis Forward, has already begun contributing his expertise in community development and regional collaboration.

In March 2026, PRFC welcomed four additional board members:

• Geneva Libby, founder of The Gluten Free Kitchen

• Adrienne Clark, personal trainer and fitness instructor

• Eli Dunfee, owner of Eli’s Market in Guilford

• Mic Malchiodi, Assistant Branch Manager at Bangor Savings Bank in Dover-Foxcroft

These new members bring a wide range of professional backgrounds, including small business ownership, health and wellness, finance, and food systems, that will strengthen the organization’s leadership and deepen its connection to the communities it serves.

“We are thrilled to be welcoming a wave of new board members,” said Whitney Gould-Cookson, PRFC Board President.  “Each new member brings passion and expertise that will further inspire our work together. I look forward to continuing to make a meaningful impact together in the region with PRFC and striving toward our mission to ensure everyone in the region has access to fresh, healthy food.”

PRFC also extends its deep gratitude to two departing board members, Steve Grammont, co-founder of the organization, and Patrick Myers, former board president and treasurer. Both completed three consecutive three-year terms at the end of 2025 and have played an instrumental role in shaping PRFC’s growth and impact over the years.

Their leadership and dedication have helped build a strong foundation for the organization, positioning it for continued success in addressing food insecurity across Piscataquis County and beyond.

Piscataquis Regional Food Center remains committed to its vision that everyone, regardless of circumstances, has reliable access to fresh, healthy, and nourishing food. With the addition of these new board members, PRFC looks forward to continuing its work through strengthened partnerships, innovative programs, and community-driven solutions.
