Speaker Bio
Brandon Comer currently serves as Director of Children’s Programs at Feeding Southwest Virginia, a member food bank of Feeding America. She first became involved with the organization as a volunteer in 2017, supporting the launch of the Children’s Fresh Meal Program aboard the Café To Grow food truck. Since then, Brandon has held multiple leadership roles—including Program Lead for the CACFP food truck program, Nutrition Coordinator, and Children’s Programs Representative—before assuming the Director role in 2019.

Under Brandon’s leadership, Children’s Programs have expanded significantly, growing CACFP and SFSP services by more than 75% and launching a second production kitchen at the Abingdon warehouse to increase access to fresh meals for children in far Southwest Virginia. She also reimagined a legacy produce initiative into a highly successful Kids Farmers Market Program, which now serves more than 30 partner agencies annually and distributed nearly 425,000 pounds of free, fresh, local produce to children and families last year alone. Working in close collaboration with community partners, Brandon and her team served nearly 275,000 meals during the summer of 2025, advancing equitable access to nutritious food for children across the region.
