Woody Foster was reared with a good sense and value for food and community, which can be attributed to him seeing his father and uncle’s hard work and dedication to the local grocery industry and community from an early age. Woody later joined them in the family grocery business where he worked diligently in every aspect of the business. Woody is passionate about his community and developing a systematic approach utilizing the grocery industry to alleviate hunger in both the near and long- terms and looks forward to an active role in the success of Cayman’s first Food Bank.
