At Share Our Strength, an organization that addresses childhood hunger and poverty in the U.S., employees are working hard to serve their communities everyday. For Tracee Sanders, managing director of HR, she’s on a mission to make sure employees take care of themselves, too.
“We’re tackling food insecurity within the United States, and the systems that contribute to poverty. The work we do is very emotionally charged,” Sanders says. “People get burned out — our staff feels like, if I’m not doing it, then that’s going to affect a child being able to eat. If you have that in the back of your mind, you’re going to just keep pushing.”
