Regina Harrell

Regina Harrell has been a part of our center team since 2021. She joined us after serving as an intern with the Jewish Community Council for New Settlement, on their City Clean-up Corps initiative. She currently goes to college and is majoring in business, all while balancing her job as the farm stand and pantry coordinator, a youth Zumba instructor, and a mom to 2. She continues to work and grow with New Settlement due to her love of helping others and giving back to her community. She feels her job here helps her do that.
