Meet Our Dedicated Board Members: Guiding Our Mission and Vision

Marvee McLendon, RN, BSN
Founder

​Our detours may not always be easy, but they often lead us to our purpose. Through Chat N Chew, I have found my calling and am able to use my story to help others. We are committed to providing resources and support to families who are facing the same struggles I did. We seek to empower them to overcome their obstacles and create a better future for themselves and their loved ones. My goal is to make Chat N Chew a beacon of hope and to be an example of how we can take the detours in life and use them to find our purpose. We will continue to fight for those in need and provide the support they need to create a brighter future.

CoFounder/Ad Hoc Duties

I support CnC because it's a direct reflection/expression of the vision God has given me for our family.  This is a cause that is personal to me not just because of the obvious reasons, but it's something I lived through as well, and I see the impact on many lives.

I've had a desire to serve and help those less fortunate. I have been fortunate to go on mission trips to Mexico to build homes and an orphanage for families. Chat N Chew's Mission lines up with my convictions. I was blessed when they invited me to be a part of this ministry.  I'M ALL IN!
