Julie Erwin-Rinaldi

Executive Director

Julie and her husband David have been Dublin residents for over 27 years.  They both love walking daily in the Dublin parks and watching their grandson play soccer on the many soccer fields throughout the city of Dublin. Their children were all educated in the Dublin City Schools.

Before retiring from Syntero, Inc. in July 2024, Julie spent 40 years of her professional career working in nonprofit and public behavioral healthcare where she developed many partnerships with other organizations and programs that improved the well being of people of all ages. The Dublin Food Pantry’s focus on addressing food insecurity is in perfect alignment with Julie’s desire to work with the school district, healthcare professionals, community advocates, volunteers and others to improve the well being of those that can benefit from a more holistic approach to wellness. An individual’s and family’s well being is negatively impacted by food insecurity. The Pantry cannot do our work to provide access to food without our volunteers, donors, sponsors and community partners. Together we can end food insecurity and create a healthier community! 

Jim Wilson

Director of Operations

Jim and his wife, Ulka, have proudly called Dublin home for over 20 years. Their children both graduated from Dublin Jerome High School and went on to attend The Ohio State University.

One or more family members have been volunteering at the pantry since 2012. Jim notes that thanks to over 150 volunteers each week, the pantry can make more than 30 grocery and restaurant pickups weekly, distributing over 800,000 pounds of food each year. This effort helps over 200 families a week in the Dublin area, though it still represents a fraction of those living in Dublin who deal with the challenges of food insecurity.
