Our Team

Employed since 2009

As a student at the University of California, Berkeley completing his senior thesis on the history of the Oakland Unified School District Benito Delgado-Olson attended several public events in an effort to understand how the community responded to its neediest students. He was struck by the inefficiency of the distribution of resources and realized there had to be a better way. He founded SupplyBank.org, then known as K-to-College, in 2009 to provide school supplies to low-income students. Today SupplyBank.org is the largest charitable program of its kind in California, distributing vital essential goods to under-resourced families throughout the state in partnership with a network of more than 500 organizations.

• Proudest accomplishment at SupplyBank.org: every time we do something that hasn’t been done before to help people
• Personal interests: traveling everywhere, Bay Area sports, exercise, a good single malt scotch.

“The goal at the end of the day is to make sure people have what they need to live with health, safety, and comfort during times of both extraordinary disaster and ongoing hardship.”
