Our Staff
George Roberts | President and CEO
George uses his 20 years of corporate and 10 years of nonprofit experience to help build the best organization possible to ensure no homebound residents in our area go hungry. He comes to work each day with a big smile knowing our amazing staff and volunteers share this passion. It is not just a job; he says, "we’re on a mission to change lives!"
Megan Banker | Communications & Events Manager
Megan moved to Charleston in 2011 after graduating from UNC. Since then, she has developed her communications and event-planning skills as an assistant camp director, high school English teacher, and freelance content/marketing business. A firm believer in the notion that "teamwork makes the dream work," Megan finds deep joy and fulfillment in channeling her talents into a cause that unites and brings the best out of people. Outside of East Cooper Meals on Wheels, she enjoys being outdoors, cooking, traveling, and spending quality time with friends, family, and dog Bodie.
Kelley Chapman | Volunteer Manager
Kelley is a South Carolina native. She and her family live in Mount Pleasant. Kelly truly enjoys being around smiles and laughter - two important ingredients for the magic made at East Cooper Meals on Wheels.
She says knowing our volunteers make our recipients smile and laugh often makes working here all worthwhile. She was previously employed at another nonprofit, where she helped many parents through the trials of bringing preemies into the world. Now, she is helping homebound recipients receive nutritious meals by coordinating the efforts of 450+ volunteers who pack and deliver every meal!
Meghann Doiron | Program Assistant
Meghann, along with her husband and three children, moved to Charleston in 2021 from the northeast in hopes of warmer weather and more outdoor time together. After 20 years in the photography industry, Meghann has joined Meals on Wheels in hopes of being a helping hand to all, and she’s very excited to be part of this welcoming and warm community. In her free time, Meghann loves reading, spending time with her family and two dogs, and being outside.
Cailee Sprecher | Recipient Services Manager
Cailee moved here from Iowa in 2021 because she was tired of winter. She previously worked at Wellmore of Daniel Island and especially enjoys working with the older population. If she's not at the beach, you'll find Cailee sitting somewhere reading a good book. She also looks forward to Fall every year so she can light her favorite candles. She's excited to continue helping people through her work at Meals on Wheels.
