Anore Horton

As Executive Director since 2018, Anore (she/they) serves on all of Hunger Free Vermont’s core teams, supporting the organization’s core programs, fundraising, and financial oversight.  In partnership with the Board of Directors, Anore is accountable for ensuring that Hunger Free Vermont stays true to our mission of ending the injustice of hunger for everyone by developing strategies that prioritize the people most affected by hunger to make permanent and systemic change.

Before becoming Hunger Free Vermont’s Executive Director, Anore spent seven years leading Hunger Free Vermont teams focused on advocating for and expanding the many federal nutrition programs that are our current best tools for tackling hunger. Prior to joining Hunger Free Vermont in 2011, Anore worked in higher education for over 15 years, teaching the history of social movements and public policy in the U.S. and Latin America, and as a consultant to faculty and academic programs on course and curriculum design and assessment. They also directed and taught in volunteer literacy, ESL, and citizenship preparation programs for children and immigrants in California and New York.

Anore lives in Williston with her spouse, Felicia—and down the street from her Mom, Judith. Having grown up with low income, Anore knows firsthand the toll constant worry about meeting basic human needs takes on a family’s mental and physical health, and is deeply committed to bringing forth a vibrant community-centered future where every one of us has the nourishing food we need and want with dignity and ease.
