The BCSI Staff


Birch Community Services is staffed by over 500 willing volunteers, and four full-time and five part-time employees. We have some faithful, every day and/or every week people who are key to the efficient operation of BCSI. Here are a few of them:

Barry Birch Barry Birch
Founder
Barry was our first full-time employee and public relations person for BCSI. He now spends his time as the primary contact for donors and coordinating donations.
Suzanne Birch Suzanne Birch

Suzanne oversees the day-to-day operation inside the warehouse, and contacts new families as the representative for the Review Committee.
Ryan Brown Ryan Brown
Warehouse Assistant
Ryan joined us in February 2013 after completing a five month internship through the Work Experience program. He will continue to train as a warehouseman through the Jobs Plus Program.
Lee Coiteux Lee Coiteux

Steve Fivecoat Steve Fivecoat
Driver/Warehouseman
A retired firefighter, Steve has volunteered off and on for several years showcasing his amazing work ethic. In summer of 2011 he was hired as a part time driver, and helps fill in the gaps in the busy warehouse.
Lynn  Holstine Lynn Holstine
Warehouseman
Lynn returned to BCS as a full time employee in November 2012, and we are happy to have her. Her work style reminds us of the Roadrunner cartoons; no one can keep up with her! She and Andrew Rowlett work together coordinating the back warehouse. aryl Holstine
Daryl Holstine Daryl Holstine
Warehouseman
Daryl works part time assisting Lynn and Andrew, and coordinating the Danner Boots. He is also fortunate to be married to Lynn Holstine :).
Kim Ikehara Kim Ikehara
Administrative Assistant
Kim can be found at the front desk cheerfully greeting participants. She is our initial contact with new family referrals, and assists Jane with record keeping.
David Johnson David Johnson
Extraordinary Volunteer
David arrives every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning with a huge smile and energy to burn. He manages the incoming bread and is Andrew's right-hand man in the cooler. What a joy it is to have him always here with us!
Andrew Rowlett Andrew Rowlett
Warehouseman
Andrew returned to BCS in summer of 2010 as a warehouseman. He partners with Lynn Holstine in coordinating the cooler and refrigeration storage and distribution, and directs volunteers in the warehouse. Andrew's upbeat personality and great sense of humor keep the volunteers and staff on their toes.
Krista Rubio
Volunteer Coordinator
Krista became involved at BCS as a Steps to Success volunteer intern in 2009. She did such an amazing job we hired her in 2010 as an employee. As a single mom of Gabe, age 5, she balances working three days a week coordinating volunteers in the clean room and on the distribution floor. Her sweet and gentle spirit is an encouragement to everyone around her!
Dave Toedtemeier Dave Toedtemeier
Driver
Dave came on staff in April 2007 after volunteering for several years. Dave is our Tuesday/Thursday driver picking up product, while still willingly volunteering for us one additional day a week. This keeps his "retirement" exciting, in combination with his interest in coins, hunting and fishing.
Jan Wells Jan Wells
Good Will Ambassador
One of our Board of Directors, Jan volunteers two days a week at the warehouse. Her ready laugh and exuberant personality make her a fun person to work with. Jan’s known for her compassionate spirit and willingness to listen without judgement to hurting people.
Jane Woods Jane Woods
Administrative Assistant
Jane came on as part-time staff January 1, 2006, after volunteering for many years. Jane helps keep the records straight with volunteers and participant updates, and serves as Egbert Kunrath's assistant for the Good $ense classes.
