Governor’s Champion of Service: Carmen Del Guercio (Statewide)

President & CEO Carmen Del Guercio guides the vision and leads the daily operation of the Maryland Food Bank.

The son of Italian immigrant factory workers, Carmen always had enough food on the table — but as an adult he realized that his family, like so many others, were just one event away from food insecurity. After learning how widespread hunger in Maryland is, Carmen was compelled to help fulfill the food bank’s mission. With this in mind, he joined MFB in 2016 after a successful 29-year career in the banking industry.

Today, Carmen is leading the food bank on an ambitious new movement that is not only feeding more people, but offering solutions that address the “root causes” of food insecurity. Outside of the office, you can find Carmen enjoying local sports teams, spending time with his wife and three grown daughters on Delmarva beaches, or traveling. Carmen was selected for the Governor’s Service Award as the Governor’s Champion of Service.
