Our Team
Chris Haugom
Executive Director
Message from the Director:
​
I’m so excited to share updates, stories, and opportunities with you as we continue feeding the success of Alaska’s children together.
​
For nearly ten years, I’ve had the privilege of serving with Kids Kupboard, and it’s truly been the most fulfilling work of my career. With a background in business management and operations—and a deep love for people and our community’s kids—I’m honored to now serve as Executive Director. Each day, I get to work alongside an incredible team of staff, board of directors and volunteers, connect with generous suppliers and donors, and ensure that every meal we prepare reaches the children who need it most.
​
When I’m not in the kitchen or on the go, you can usually find me outdoors—hunting, fishing, hiking, or sitting by a bonfire with my family, soaking in the beauty of Alaska.
Thank you for standing with us in the fight against childhood hunger here in the Mat-Su Valley. Your support helps make this mission possible, and I look forward to all we’ll accomplish together.
— Chris Haugom, Executive Director, Kids Kupboard
Hally Marshall
Outreach Manager
Hally Marshall joins us from Minnesota and brings with her talents that span all aspects of administration, community outreach and the well-being of children. For over a decade, she ran a successful daycare, raised 4 children and was an active part of her community, and for her, FOOD has always been her love language. Hally began with Kids Kupboard by serving on its board and volunteering, and eventually worked her way from Administrative Assistant to Outreach Coordinator. She excels at making the community aware of Kids Kupboard's mission and fosters partnerships that allow the mission to continue forward. Without her, the program would not be possible. For fun, Hally enjoys cooking, hunting, and the great outdoors.
