The Geneva Center of Concern has been fortunate to be able to efficiently and effectively operate with two full-time (Director) and (Assistant to the Director) staff positions. Dedicated, hard-working volunteers remain essential for implementing programs and daily services to customers.
Cheryl Toor: Director
Cheryl Toor first started at the Center in 2002 as part-time Pantry Manager. Today, as Director she oversees all daily operations at the Center and works closely with the Board of Directors on ongoing and future goals for programs, building and maintenance projects, fund-raising and more. The Director also prepares and delivers Center communications to the Community.
During a typical day, the Director speaks with customers to identify their immediate needs, and then provides additional assistance by making referrals to appropriate agencies, and providing Center Store vouchers for free clothing and household items as well as assistance for obtaining medications. Oftentimes, individuals walk in off the streets, having exhausted all other resources. Homeless, unemployed, underemployed, single parents, and the elderly; all are welcome at The Center.
Cindy Snyder: Store Manager
Cindy started working at the Center as a volunteer in 2015 and, after six years, was hired as Store Manager in March of 2021. This position requires overseeing all aspects of the store operations including accepting incoming donations, training volunteers as well as the set-up and organization of store merchandise. Often she can be found answering the phones and running the register as needed. Cindy interacts with store customers with merchandise questions and assists people with referrals from other agencies.
Cindy also supports the Director with projects as needed. Our Store Manager is a very valuable asset to the Center of Concern, as her organizational skills are necessary to help the day-to-day store operations run more smoothly.
