In Amber’s former role as President of Mobile Loaves & Fishes, she was responsible for ensuring that the organization’s vision, mission, strategy, core values, and goals were embodied and evangelized. Mobile Loaves & Fishes empowers communities into a lifestyle of service with the homeless and is the visionary nonprofit behind Austin’s innovative Community First! Village, a 51-acre master planned development that provides affordable, permanent housing and a supportive community for the chronically homeless in Central Texas.
