Jennifer Anderson, Board of Directors

Jennifer is currently the Chapter Operations Coordinator for Blessings in a Backpack Frederick. Together, Farm to School and Blessings in a Backpack Frederick worked during the pandemic lockdown to ensure the children of Frederick County still had access to nutritious meals. Jennifer volunteers with numerous local organizations including Circle of Life Cooperative Preschool (where she helped them gain the title, ”America's Greenest Classroom”), Monocacy Valley Montessori Public Charter School (where she helped start the school’s Urban Gardening program), Girl Scouts (Leader), Science Olympiad (Coach), YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, Heritage Frederick, Earth and Space Science Lab, etc. 

Jennifer has a Ph.D. in Tumor Biology from Georgetown University. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Lycoming College and grew up in central PA, where her family farms. She currently homeschools her youngest daughter and continues to look forward to supporting the Frederick community through her work with Farm to School.
