Seven Loaves Services, Inc. the Middleburg-based food pantry, recently announced that Browning Herbert has been elected to the Board of Seven Loaves and appointed its Treasurer, effective July 1. Herbert succeeds D. Michael Riley who has served as Seven Loaves' Treasurer virtually since its inception in 1994.

Herbert is Vice President and Commercial Relationship Manager at Middleburg Bank, based in the Middleburg Branch. He has worked at the bank in that capacity since 2012, and previously worked at Main Street Bank in Fairfax, and at Middleburg Bank in other capacities, since his graduation from Elon University.

"We are so pleased to have Browning join us," said Melanie C. Maloney, President of Seven Loaves. "He brings enthusiasm and passion for our mission, as well as new insights into our work," she added.

"It is bittersweet too," Maloney said, "because we also acknowledge the departure of Mike Riley, who has served us so wonderfully for nearly 20 years. He has been a pillar of the pantry, and is responsible for the great distance we have travelled since our earliest days. Our volunteers will miss him," she added.

"I am extremely excited to be working with an organization that gives as much to the community as Seven Loaves does," said Herbert. "I am fortunate to be inheriting the treasurer position from someone who has put so much time into the organization, and has set me up for a very successful transition," he added. "I look forward to working with the great volunteers of Seven Loaves and giving back to the community in which I work," he concluded.

Seven Loaves is located in the rear basement of the Middleburg United Methodist Church, and is open to provide nutritious food, personal supplies and other assistance to those in need on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 10 a.m. to Noon.
