Änna Ibrahim has been appointed the new executive director of Shalom Farms,  a local nonprofit working to build healthy communities by growing more than 600,000 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables on over eight acres in Chesterfield County. The produce is distributed through a network of programs and partnerships in Richmond and surrounding communities where access to healthy food is limited. Partnerships and initiatives include the Mobile Market, Prescription Produce Plan and Nutrition Distribution Program. 

Ibrahim has a demonstrated track record of success, including serving as chief operating officer for Faith in Public Life, a Washington, D.C.-based advocacy organization where she facilitated embedding a racial equity lens into program planning, strategic planning and visioning. Ibrahim will appear at the Shalom Farms Summer Kickoff, held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 21. Registration is required – reserve your spot today!
