Angela Moloney
Angela Moloney is the President and CEO of Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan, where she leads regional efforts to build hunger‑free communities grounded in dignity, equity, and long‑term sustainability. She oversees operations that serve a five‑county area—Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston, and Monroe—working with hundreds of partner agencies, schools, and community organizations to expand access to nutritious food.
A mission‑driven nonprofit executive, Moloney brings more than two decades of leadership experience focused on philanthropy, equity, and community collaboration. Before joining Gleaners, she was the founding President and CEO of the Catholic Foundation of Michigan, where she helped launch and grow a values‑driven community foundation that connected donor generosity to pressing local needs and raised tens of millions of dollars for charitable causes. Earlier in her career, she held senior roles at Nazareth Farm in West Virginia and with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, leading service and volunteer programs that addressed substandard housing, supported marginalized communities, and emphasized justice, sustainability, and relationship‑building.[
Moloney’s leadership at Gleaners is shaped by a belief that hunger does not exist in isolation but intersects with health, education, housing, and economic opportunity. She emphasizes listening to staff, volunteers, partners, and neighbors, and has focused her early tenure on a “listening tour” to understand community strengths and needs, with an eye toward collaborative, community‑driven solutions. Her approach centers on connecting generosity to real everyday needs, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring that food assistance is nutritious, culturally appropriate, and delivered with respect.
Rooted in her own upbringing in a large family where sharing food was a core value, Moloney often speaks about food as foundational to memory, identity, and dignity. She has described Gleaners’ greatest strength as the people connected to its mission—team members, volunteers, donors, and community partners—whose passion fuels both the scale and heart of the organization’s response to hunger. Under her guidance, Gleaners is committed not only to feeding people today, but also to building systems and relationships that support thriving, hunger‑free communities for years to come.
