Annalee Fannan and Tulah Fuchs Named new Managers of Volunteer Services!

This September will mark four years since I joined God’s Love We Deliver, and I’m excited to continue my journey here as Manager of Volunteer Services.  

I bring nearly a decade of experience in volunteer services, corporate and community partnerships, and development. Before joining God’s Love, I spent more than ten years at the Hetrick-Martin Institute, supporting LGBTQ+ youth across New York City. Along the way, I developed a particular flair for volunteer orientations—something that has served me well throughout my career.  

When I’m not working, I’m a devoted musical theater fan, trivia enthusiast, and proud sci-fi, fantasy, and fiction nerd. I also enjoy food crafting—although I should admit that being interested in food and being good at cooking are very different things. I’m a fan of board games and role-playing games as well, though I haven’t spent nearly enough time on either lately.  

Like many people in New York’s nonprofit community, I had known about God’s Love We Deliver for years before joining the organization. In fact, the young people at my previous organization participated in Crafting Love projects over the years. What initially attracted me to this role was the opportunity to combine volunteer management with overseeing volunteers for the New York City Wine & Food Festival. The chance to support such an exciting and impactful event while advancing God’s Love’s mission was an easy “yes.”  

What I have always loved most about volunteer services is the people. Volunteers come to us for so many different reasons. Some have a personal connection through a loved one who has received meals. Others are looking for purpose in retirement, fulfilling school service requirements, or simply seeking a way to give back to their community. No matter how they arrive, they share a common desire to help others. I love supporting that journey and creating an experience that makes people want to come back again and again.  

While I’ve absolutely loved getting to know the incredible volunteers who call Liberty home, I’m excited to return to Kors and rejoin the fast-paced, energetic volunteer community there. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with familiar faces, meeting new volunteers, and helping our programs continue to thrive.  

And because someone always asks for a fun fact: I have only ever purchased one rubber duck in my entire life. In case you were curious.  

July marks three years since I joined God’s Love We Deliver, and I’m thrilled to be stepping into the role of Manager of Volunteer Services at Liberty BKLYN.  

My professional background has always centered around community connection. Before coming to God’s Love, I worked in several schools focused on mentorship and environmental education. Along the way, I even spent a few months leading day hikes in Wyoming’s breathtaking Teton Mountains. Those experiences taught me the value of storytelling, partnership building, and creating meaningful opportunities for people to connect with one another and the world around them.   

Outside of work, I love anything that brings people together and keeps me moving. You’ll often find me cooking, swimming at the beach, dancing, going to concerts, singing karaoke, or taking long walks through New York City’s parks.  

As a born-and-raised New Yorker, I was immediately drawn to God’s Love We Deliver’s mission of providing medically tailored meals to fellow New Yorkers. From a young age, my mom taught me that food truly is medicine, and it feels incredibly meaningful to be part of an organization that puts that belief into action every day. It is a privilege to help nourish others and support our community in such a tangible way.  

One of the things I love most about working in Volunteer Services is meeting kind-hearted, service-driven people. Every volunteer brings their own story, energy, and commitment to helping others, and being able to support and celebrate that generosity is inspiring. I’m especially excited to build on the incredible momentum we have at our beautiful new Liberty BKLYN location and continue creating memorable experiences for our volunteers.
