Deacon Rose also chairs Fulfill’s Agency Partner Advisory Committee, a cohort of leaders from Fulfill’s network of partner charitable food distribution agencies across Monmouth & Ocean Counties. The Agency Partner Committee brings the voice of Fulfill’s feeding partners into the Board room to provide valuable input and insight to help form decisions that impact the entire network.
