Abril Inocencio
Interim Executive Director
As Interim Executive Director of Farm to Pantry, I am honored to lead an organization that brings together food access, environmental stewardship, and community well-being. My vision is centered on building long-term stability, expanding our impact, and strengthening the partnerships that make our work possible, from volunteers and growers to donors, sponsors, and community organizations.
A Sonoma County native, I learned the value of hard work and business operations at an early age while helping manage finances and taxes for my family’s business. That experience sparked a passion for financial management and organizational leadership, leading me to earn a Bachelor of Science in Financial Management from Sonoma State University. Throughout my career in financial services, nonprofit leadership, and business operations consulting, I have focused on building strong systems that help organizations grow and thrive.
Today, I am committed to expanding access to fresh, healthy food across Sonoma County through our network of more than 80 community partners and Farmacy Cart sites. I believe food is more than nourishment, it is a pathway to health, dignity, and connection. Whether we're providing fresh produce, supporting families, or creating welcoming spaces through Community Nights, Farm to Pantry's work is rooted in helping people thrive.
When I'm not working, you can find me kayaking, cooking, spending time with my dog, or catching up on Survivor.
