Amber Miller, Food Pantry Supervisor

Amber has proudly led Wesley House's growing food pantry and volunteer programs since 2023 and stepped into her current leadership role at the beginning of 2025. Her journey with Wesley House began in 2022 as a Student Ambassador and resident while studying Criminal Justice at San Diego State University.

In 2023, Amber was promoted to Student Services Assistance as she managed food pantry operations, supported resident services, and maintained the affordable housing complex's upkeep. The same year, she launched Wesley House's food pantry volunteer program which has since grown to a team of over 750 volunteers with 40-50 contributing their time each week.

Amber is currently pursuing her Master of Social Work at California State University, San Marcos, with an expected graduation date of May 2026. She is completing her advanced-year, employment-based internship placement at Wesley House where she will continue to apply social work values in a real-world setting while deepening her skills in program development, community engagement, and advocacy.

Amber's lived experience with food insecurity fuels her commitment to creating accessible and equitable food resources. As both a staff member and a volunteer in the broader community, Amber understands the value of time and strives to ensure that every volunteer experience is meaningful, inclusive, and empowering.
