Teresa is the Executive Director of SNM and oversees the day-to-day operations of the ministry. She meets with families, learns about their circumstances and goals, and tries to determine how best to help them.

Todd is the Director of Programming at SNM and oversees the programs and services of the ministry. He meets with individuals, one on one and in group settings to assist with financial concerns from buying a home, dealing with debt, credit issues, eviction/foreclosure prevention, prescription costs, and ultimately how to have a spending and saving plan that works for you. He also partners with Churches, local businesses, government programs, and other non-profit organizations to find the best available resources to meet needs. He enjoys sharing tips and ideas on how to save time and money. When he is not at work, he likes to spend time with family, work around the house/barn, visit yard sales, and checking out auctions.

My name is Christal Pritchard and I am the housing advocate for Solanco Neighborhood Ministries. My education background is in Communications and counseling. My certification in biblical counseling and training in Christian trauma care guides me as I try to help individuals in crisis. I count it as a privilege to walk alongside our hurting neighbors, trying to connect them with both material help and ultimately with the hope of the Gospel that transforms and restores. On a personal note, I have four young adult children and one grandchild. You will find me hiking, biking, walking and serving in my local church.

In Romans 12:13, we are called upon to “Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” As Food Bank Coordinator, I have the privilege of working with volunteers who help to stock our food bank shelves, process donations, pack orders, and do all of the tasks necessary to get food into the hands of our neighbors in need. Along with the support of our great community, I believe it is a blessing to get to share God’s love through the services that we provide.

Jean has been volunteering at the ministry for over a decade, and she does it all. She helps in the food bank, assists with ordering needed supplies, she is our go-to in the kitchen, helps with events, and more. She will tell you how fulfilling it is to volunteer here and how much joy it brings her, but truly, we are so blessed that she chooses to spend her time with us, serving others.

I’m the Volunteer Coordinator at the Solanco Neighborhood Ministries. I ensure that we have the packing staff for our day-to-day activities, maintain the schedules for the Office and Greeter staff, and request and arrange substitutes as needed. I also send out our monthly donation request list to local churches, organizations, and individuals who wish to participate. I take pride in the many ways this organization serves our community. I’m excited to work with folks who care so much about helping others and go out of their way to do so.
