ROB SHIMP
BOARD PRESIDENT

He was elected board president in January, 2015 and also serves as board president at the Ohio River Foundation, a group focusing on environmental education and river habitat restoration, and contributes volunteer home repair work for People Working Cooperatively.

Professionally, Rob worked for 28 years at Procter & Gamble in “product stewardship,” and retired in 2012 to do part-time consulting.  Product stewardship experts help companies ensure that the products they sell are safe for people and the environment, and in compliance with laws around the world.

They have two grown sons, living in the New York City area and Atlanta.

 ODB’s staff and volunteers are intensely committed to helping address hunger and poverty in Cincinnati.  But it isn’t just the institution that I value – it is the connection with our guests. They know they can come to ODB for a warm meal, and a warmer welcome.  It’s that simple sense of humanity, and humility, that I experience every time I walk through the doors.  I can think of no better place to ‘pay it forward.’ ”

The mission of ODB, ‘Serving up Hope in Cincinnati’, resonated with me from the moment I first discovered the amazing work being done at the corner of Race and Elder. The story of how Cookie Vogelpohl, our founder, was inspired to found ODB, in turn inspired me to want to help in a very small way continue this amazing legacy of hope in our community.”
