Meet the Hopefulls Team
Scott Newton
Founder & President
For more than 20 years, fighting hunger in our community has been one of Scott's greatest passions. What began as a vision to end childhood hunger one elementary school at a time quickly became a reality through Hopefulls, Inc. Today, he never misses an opportunity to share the mission with others because he has seen firsthand the life-changing impact Hopefulls has on the children it serves. Every meal represents more than food—it offers hope, security, and the reassurance that someone cares.
Jamie Via
Executive Director
As a former elementary school teacher, Jamie has seen firsthand the challenges many children face with food insecurity. That experience, combined with her exceptional organizational and logistical skills, drives her commitment to ensuring every child served by Hopefulls, Inc. receives a nutritious, kid-friendly meal. Jamie is equally passionate about the volunteers who make the mission possible, creating meaningful, enjoyable opportunities for them to serve and be part of changing lives—one meal at a time.
