Phyllis Kingsland

Director

I am a Broker Salesperson with Baird & Warner Real Estate. I manage deals throughout the city of Chicago and write about the real estate market for young people on CheekyChicago.com. Prior to my becoming a broker in real estate I was a salesperson for RR Donnelley and Sons Company selling book printing and manufacturing to publishers; first in New York and then in Chicago. I grew up on the East Coast and have been a resident of both the Gold Coast and Lincoln Park neighborhoods for over 20 years.

I began volunteering at Lakeview Pantry in early 2012, having already been a steady donor to the Pantry with my husband, Jack. As a donor I was impressed with the mission, goals and efficiency of Lakeview Pantry. As a volunteer I am completely astonished by the high levels of professionalism and commitment at which we regard and serve our clients. I was asked to join the Board of Directors in July 2012 and did so with great enthusiasm for the good work we will continue to do while I stay committed to weekly volunteering and participate in both the fundraising and development of this very vital organization.
