Manager, Hinges of Hope
Share Our Strength
Katherine Campbell manages the Hinges of Hope program at Share Our Strength. Through the Hinges of Hope experiential learning trips, Share Our Strength is raising awareness of childhood hunger in America and the innovative solutions that will end it.
Katherine grew up in Houston, Texas. In 2005 she graduated from film school at the University of Southern California, worked for the writing staff of ABC’s Grey Anatomy. In 2006, her desire to serve in a third world county led her to Managua, Nicaragua. There she worked with Manna Project International in the city dump community, LA Chureca. Managua is still her home away from home. After that time in Nicaragua, she moved to Washington, DC with a desire to combine storytelling and non-profit work. For the last two years, at Share Our Strength, she has been able to lead Hinges of Hope trips and help tell the story of hunger in America.
Besides storytelling, anything imaginative, and photography, she also loves making pies, gardens, and hiking up waterfalls.
