PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — In this week’s I Am Hampton Roads, we get to know Chris Tan, president and CEO of the Food Bank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore. Born and raised in Hampton Roads, he’s spent his career working with children and families, including nine years as the CEO of Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia before taking the helm of the food bank two years ago.
He shared how compassion for other human beings is the way to change the world. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities available at the food bank. If you are inclined to give monetarily, the food bank can take $10 worth of donations and turn it into $60 worth of meals, so it goes a long way.
