SARASOTA, Fla. (May 27, 2025) – As food insecurity continues to impact hundreds of thousands of families across Sarasota and DeSoto counties, All Faiths Food Bank is taking bold steps to strengthen its fundraising capacity and serve more neighbors in need. The organization has added seasoned development professional Jeremy Lisitza as its new philanthropy engagement manager, a key role focused on cultivating donor relationships and expanding community support.

With decades of experience in donor engagement, campaign strategy and nonprofit leadership, Lisitza is well-positioned to help accelerate All Faiths’ mission of ending hunger. He will lead efforts to deepen relationships with major donors, guide strategic fundraising initiatives and build long-term support through the Ending Hunger Society, All Faiths’ legacy giving program.

“As the need grows, so must our ability to connect with the community and inspire meaningful giving,” said Nelle S. Miller, president and CEO of All Faiths Food Bank. “Jeremy brings the vision, energy and experience that will help us raise the vital funding needed to feed more families and invest in lasting solutions to hunger.”

Lisitza’s career includes impactful roles with the Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee — where he served in multiple leadership capacities — as well as Jewish Family & Children’s Services and the Jewish Housing Council (now Aviva Senior Living). His expertise in donor stewardship, grant writing and event planning will support the food bank’s ongoing efforts to grow its reach and impact through philanthropy.

In his new role, Lisitza will manage a portfolio of major gift donors and prospects, design tailored donor proposals, implement stewardship strategies, identify new fundraising opportunities, and oversee key special events that drive engagement and support.
