Erin Meyer

Hello! I’m Erin Meyer and I am deeply passionate about creating positive change in the world. For the last seven years, I have dedicated myself to addressing food insecurity, reducing food waste, and mitigating climate change by championing the redistribution of surplus food. However, it has sometimes felt futile as the problems were only getting worse. I began to approach burnout. I knew things needed to change. I made some big, scary, transformative life changes including a move across states, a change in jobs and more. It also motivated me to begin Deep Health Coaching LLC.

As a health and wellness coach, I am committed to supporting activists and advocates in achieving their well-being goals to prevent burnout and align their personal wellness with their advocacy work. I believe every one is an activist or advocate so all are welcome.

In my day job, I am the Director of Food Rescue and Health and Wellness Initiatives at Community Initiatives for Collective Impact (Ci4Ci) where I have led transformative programs, including the Bobcat Eats Food Waste Awareness Program and the Pop-Up People’s Pantry. Since 2018, I’ve prevented over 2,785,000 pounds of food waste, facilitated a record-breaking 47,000-pound produce donation in the first week of employment, and co-launched community fridges, serving disadvantaged communities. My work extends beyond immediate impact, as I also play a key role in implementing county-wide legislation and managing grants upwards of $250,000. I am also a Food Rescue Consultant aiming to help communities rescue more food to feed more people.

My commitment to sustainability and nutrition extends to my volunteer work and involvement in organizations such as Food Connect and the Animal Place.

My educational background includes a Master of Science in Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems from the University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point, a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Food Science from Colorado State University, and a Bachelor of Science in Integrative Biology from the University of Colorado, Denver.

Aside from work and volunteering, I am an avid runner, book lover and flower photographer. I have an amazing dog named Sukha who is probably the best dog in the world.
