Our Team

The people behind every plate.

A small staff, a dedicated kitchen, and a working board — most of whom started out as volunteer drivers.

Eleanor Hsu

Executive Director & Co-Founder

A former hospital social worker, Eleanor started Silver Spoon in 2016 after seeing too many seniors discharged home with no one to cook for them.

MD

Marcus Delgado

Director of Kitchen Operations

A career chef who traded restaurant lines for the community kitchen. Plans menus, runs food safety, and keeps 500 meals a day moving out the door.

AO

Aisha Okafor

Director of Development

Leads fundraising, grants, and corporate partnerships. Previously managed donor relations for a statewide food bank network.

RK

Robert Kowalski

Board Chair

A retired Madison family physician who chairs our volunteer board of nine community members and still rides along on a Friday route.

TN

Thuy Nguyen

Volunteer Coordinator

Recruits, trains, and schedules our 240 drivers and companion volunteers — and remembers every one of their birthdays.
