Jen Wicklund - Program Director

Hello! My name is Jen Wicklund and I’m very excited to be joining the team at Common Cup Ministry. I grew up in Northern California but have made Hutchinson my home since 1999. My husband, Scott and I have two children - Alice and Brendan. My formal education is in culinary arts, specifically baking and pastry. I worked as a baker in local coffee shops, bakeries and co-owned/operated a custom cake business with a friend. As much as I enjoy baking, the majority of my professional life has been spent as a playground supervisor and Title 1 para at Park Elementary. I first became involved with Common Cup Ministry three years ago as the volunteer coordinator for the Summer Feeding Program. I love getting to work with our incredible team of volunteers as well as staying connected to the kids in our community. Becoming the Program Director for Common Cup is truly a dream come true for me. Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome!
