A Houston native, Dee McBride is no stranger to the world of nonprofits. With 40 years of work experience under her belt, the now retired Dee puts her energy into volunteering in the Recipe for Success office, along with cultivating her hobbies of gardening, traveling and reading.
After 20 years with Burlington Resources, with 10 of those years as the foundation administrator, working to make sure that 401c3 organizations were qualified for funding, Dee has extensive working knowledge of nonprofits. Upon retirement, Dee volunteered with Meals on Wheels for four years. She then started to search out other volunteer opportunities, but could not find a good match until she came across Recipe for Success.
With an interest in administrative, not mention real life experience with fresh foods - Dee grew up on a farm where fresh vegetables and fresh meats were prevalent, making her a firm believer in local, fresh foods as a healthier, tastier option. "Recipe for Success has been a great influence on my eating habits, making me more aware of my food choices."
With her insider nonprofit knowledge and her enthusiasm to volunteer, Dee is delighted to provide office support for Recipe for Success.
"One thing I love about volunteering with Recipe for Success is that every week that I show up to volunteer, I get to work on different tasks. From filing paperwork to working in the library to filling packets of seeds for classes, I get to do a little bit of everything."
Although Dee has so far spent all of her time in the offices, she is eager to help out with the Seed-to-Plate Nutrition EducationÔ Program cooking and gardening classes, to further expand her volunteerism and her Recipe for Success knowledge.
"I plan to stay as long as they'll have me. I've found my niche."
