Montgomery County Food Bank Adds Five Board Directors

In Houston's northern suburb of The Woodlands, the Montgomery County Food Bank has added five new board directors, according to Hello Woodlands. The move expands the governing board of a nonprofit that serves families across Montgomery County and remains part of the broader food assistance network in the Houston region.

The new directors are Dr. Antonio Ybarra, Kelly S. Morrow, April Sound, Mark Ireland and Makenzie Korthauer, as reported by the outlet. Montgomery County Food Bank said the new board members bring experience from business, healthcare, philanthropy and community leadership, areas that can shape fundraising, operations and program oversight.

Montgomery County Food Bank expands board leadership

Montgomery County Food Bank is one of the largest hunger relief organizations serving communities north of Houston. Board directors help guide nonprofit priorities, support long-term planning and strengthen ties with donors, volunteers and partner agencies.

Leadership changes at food banks carry weight because demand for food assistance can shift with economic pressures, school breaks and severe weather. A larger or more diversified board can help nonprofit groups manage budgeting, outreach and strategic decisions while maintaining day-to-day services.

Who joined the board

Hello Woodlands reported that the five new directors were welcomed by the organization as it continues its mission of providing food and resources to neighbors in need. The article identified each new board member by name but did not detail a specific term length or immediate policy changes tied to the appointments.

For residents and community partners in the greater Houston area, the announcement points to continued investment in the structure behind local hunger relief work. Nonprofit boards do not run pantry lines or warehouse shifts themselves, but they do influence budgets, governance and outreach that affect how services are delivered.

Why the appointments matter for the region

Montgomery County sits just north of Houston and includes fast-growing communities that often rely on a mix of public, nonprofit and faith-based support systems. Food banks in suburban counties play a central role in moving food to local pantries, schools and family assistance programs.

Montgomery County Food Bank has not announced any separate public event tied to the board additions in the report cited here. The organization is expected to continue regular operations and community outreach under its expanded board leadership.
