Doug Lange – Kitchen Manager
With over 16 years at CKC Good Food, Doug has found a place where he feels truly at home. As the Parnassus Kitchen Manager, he takes pride in cooking and presenting meals that look and taste great, while also handling all ordering. For Doug, the most rewarding part of his job is making a difference in a child’s day and fostering relationships with both his team and the school’s staff. Outside of work, you can find him fishing, waterfowl hunting or camping. And his guilty pleasure? Kitchen Karaoke with friends!
Mai Vang – Server
Mai has been serving meals at CKC Good Food for six years, coming from a background in human resources. She enjoys prepping, cooking and serving, but what she loves most is seeing children’s joyful expressions when they receive their favorite meals. Working in a diverse environment is another aspect of her job that she deeply appreciates. In her free time, she loves taking her children on adventures to different parks, enjoying long walks and hikes. As a true social butterfly, she admits that talking—especially while working—can make her lose track of time.
