AFPC is remembering Ed Bermudez of Breadline Stone Soup, who passed away on November 13, 2017. Ed was the Executive Director of Breadline Inc. in Fairbanks. He will be remembered for his passion for building and empowering the Fairbanks community, especially around food security efforts. He had many years of experience helping nonprofits with managing volunteers, engaging supporters and leading staff in creative programs. Ed was with the Alaska community for a short time joining Breadline in the fall of 2016, but certainly made his mark and formed many friendships. He was treasured and loved and will be truly missed by his colleagues, friends and those he committed to providing service.
