Steph

My name is Steph Kinney. I’m 26 years old and I live in New Jersey. I have a master’s degree in school counseling and I’m extremely passionate about helping others! I’m a Charity Coordinator for Feed Our Children NOW! I first volunteered at the Camden Warped Tour date in 2012. It was there that I met Lana Posner the founder of Feed Our Children NOW!. After the concert, I sent an email to her about getting more involved. She wanted me to get in contact with some other members of the team.

After a few months of helping out, they mentioned they were in need of someone to help with the charities on the tour. I have been doing it ever since and I really enjoy every aspect of being a charity coordinator! In 2015, I was the Event Manager for the Camden world record attempt. We were able donate food to 20 charities in the city of Camden. Although we did not break the record, it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life! I love Feed Our Children NOW!

Hi I’m Franny and i’m the Tour Manager for Feed Our Children NOW! In my short years working with the non-profit I have learned many key traits such as hard work, compassion, leadership and what to do in case of a fire. I’m a fun loving individual and a child at heart. I like going to the movies, bargain shopping, collecting Sailor Moon toys and just so you know, I don’t sing in the shower… I perform!

My name is Makayla McComb and I am a Marketing major at Ohio State University. I first started volunteering with Feed Our Children Now the summer of 2014. I love the music industry and volunteering so helping out with Feed Our Children for the Warped. Tour just made sense to me. Volunteering with Feed Our Children has taught me so much about myself and the importance of helping others.

Andrew

I first started working with FOCN in 2013, when I was six. I was excited about the FOCN mission, and I really wanted to help out. My favorite time was the FOCN food drive at Van’s Warped Tour in Atlanta, Georgia when we attempted the World Record and took in tons of food for the hungry. What a great time! I am proud of FOCN and all the great projects to come! 

Melissa

“I learned that having a sound plan requires alternate solutions for when things don’t go as expected.   CMW developed my leadership skills, which I use in my career today.”

Melissa started as a volunteer for Feed Our Children NOW in 2008. She earned a bachelors of science in finance from Rutgers School of Business and an MBA from Villanova University.  Melissa works in Market Analysis for PJM Interconnection where she analyzes current and future market trends and behaviors in the energy industry.  During her first year volunteering with FOCN, Melissa traveled with Lana to solicit monetary and canned donations for local children in need.  In 2009, Melissa coordinated the delivery of  canned goods to local women and children’s shelters in each city on The Warped Tour.  In2010, she moved on to mentor and oversee the coordination effort being performed by the new volunteers.  Melissa recently served as a consultant to Creative Money Works during a Villanova Social Practicum MBA course. 

CMW taught me to always have a solid plan in place before executing a project.
