About Zeina Zein-Wolland

Zeina Zein-Wolland is the founder of Mobile School Pantry, a leading nonprofit organization that aims to fight hunger and improve access to healthy food for school-aged children. With a passion for nutrition and a desire to help children succeed, Z saw a need for a solution that addresses the issue of food insecurity in schools. With her background in nonprofit management, she founded Mobile School Pantry in 2013 with just her red VW Jetta and a dream.

Under her leadership, the organization has significantly grown and expanded, now serving 13 elementary schools through 6 community sites across Broward county and providing hundreds of thousands of pounds of fresh food to children and families in need. Her innovative approach, combined with her passion and dedication, has earned her recognition as a leader in the field of hunger relief and has inspired others to join her in the fight against hunger. Through her efforts, Z has made a positive impact on the lives of countless families and continues to work tirelessly to fulfill her mission of creating a world where every child has access to nutritious food.

Prior to starting MSP, Zeina worked with the Education Fund in Miami Dade, helping to bring food forests to Dade Schools. She was also the USDA field monitor at Feeding South Florida where she monitored 100+ food pantries and soup kitchens in Broward and Monroe counties. In 2013 she left her job as a School and Youth Coordinator at the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to focus on MSP, her passion.

Zeina currently lives in Hollywood, Florida with her husband Alex and their son Luca. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with family, enjoying the local beaches, and volunteering at her son’s school.
