Monday marked the beginning of a new era for Warm Blessings Community Kitchen as Josh Miller began his first official day as the organization’s executive director.
“I’m feeling good,” Miller said. “I’ve made a lot of connections with a lot of people in the community. I’ve been able to meet with our team and our staff. We’re really excited about going forward., so I’m really excited. It’s been a busy day, but hey, I love it. That’s what we’re here to do, is here to serve.”
Miller said the mission-minded nature of Warm Blessings stood out to him when he applied for the role.
“I love to serve, and I love people,” Miller said. “I grew up serving all of my life, so being able to give back to my community and being able to serve our neighbors in need, that was the draw. I feel like service is a calling, so I’m just answering the call, all my life.”
Miller says the organization is rooted in loving your neighbor and coming together, so he is hoping to attract more community involvement.
“We need volunteers,” Miller said. “We need resources. We just need the support of everybody in Hardin County, and I know we’ll get that. We’re in such a tight-knit community, so I’m just thankful to be a part of Warm Blessings and be a part of this community, as well.”
Miller steps into the executive director role following the death of Dawn Cash, who died at the age of 61 in December.
