Our Team

Jane and Grant Co-Founders

Giving some time, energy and empathy to others in need is sometimes all that it is required to change someone’s life. It was this motivation where ‘It’s the Little Things Community” was born.

Jane and Grant want to share their journey with you all, and if it inspires just one person to provide a helping hand to a person in need, then it has all been worthwhile.

Nia Program Coordinator

Nia fell into a role in emergency relief completely by accident and it opened her eyes to a world she knew so little about. Through the pandemic, Nia saw the incredible void that exists in food insecurity and how it impacts so much of our lives. Through It’s the Little Things Community Nia has been able to assist in addressing that void in the hope of building a better community.

Tom Community Relations Coordinator

Tom has always been passionate about helping those in need. Seeing the impact that the pandemic has had on the community was all the motivation he needed to get involved and provide a helping hand to It’s the Little Things Community
