*Employee Insight of the Week* Meet Tiffany McClain! Tiffany has been with The Food Bank of Northeast Georgia for more than 1.5 years as our Accounting Manager! When we asked Tiffany what she loves the most about her job here, she states that “I’m constantly striving to have what we need to help others. It is why I took the job.” A fun fact about Tiffany is that she is a baker! Her favorite things to create in the kitchen are cookies, cakes, and candies. Rumor has it that her homemade buckeyes will be making an appearance soon.
