Michael McCormick

Before retiring and moving to Montana to become a full-time fly fishing bum, Michael completed a successful career of more than 35 years in the for profit corporate arena. During this career he held management positions in the fields of publishing, advertising, and finance. Michael’s focus was always on accomplishing aggressive business goals, achieving financial targets, and helping those people with whom he worked achieve their greatest success.

Michael joined the Livingston Food Pantry as executive director in January 2009. After managing the Pantry’s response to double-digit increases in the demand for emergency food services during the Great Recession, he began the development of a vision that would serve the community in many ways to address the root causes of hunger and poverty in Livingston and Park County. The effort came to fruition in January 2015, when the Livingston Food Pantry, which had been operating out of a refurbished automotive garage on the outskirts of Livingston became The Livingston Food Resource Center, located in a brand new building in downtown Livingston.

The new 5,000 square feet facility houses the Livingston Food Pantry, a Community Meeting Room, a shared use, commercial Community Kitchen, and most recently the Livingston Community Bakery. The Center, offering many food related services and programs, has become a hub for community activity and is solving local challenges using local solutions.
