Project Description

Food Access Manager, LEAP

Connie Kenny grew up in Bedford County and has lived in the Roanoke Valley for 35 years. Connie now lives in Botetourt County with her lovely family. Her daughter has many food sensitivities and Connie’s search for solutions brought her to the local food market. Soon, this search turned into a love and appreciation for local food suppliers and market outlets in Roanoke and the surrounding areas. She is a proud promoter of the benefits of local and healthy food. After many years of buying local food, Connie started working for Good Food Good People, a Floyd-based former LEAP vendor and distributor of local products. She now serves as the smiling face of LEAP’s Grandin Village and West End farmers markets, as well as coordinating and supporting LEAP’s Mobile Market.
