Karen Fishburn, Board of Directors

Karen works for Transform Mid-Atlantic based in Frederick, MD. Her work involves database maintenance and training, copy editing for a monthly newsletter, and the company website. In September 2024, she had the opportunity to volunteer on a joint Blessings in a Backpack and Farm to School Frederick apple distribution opportunity. This led her to learn more about Farm to School's mission and needs in the community and she decided to get more involved. 

Karen graduated from Gettysburg College with a BA in Asian Studies. She has lived in Frederick for over 26 years and during that time, she has volunteered with many organizations including Blessings in a Backpack Frederick Chapter (2016-present), Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County, and the Parkway Elementary School PTA. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening (flowers, vegetables, and herbs), biking with friends (especially on the C&O Canal and in Lewes, DE), origami, and reading.
