As the Founding Executive Director of the largest Outdoor Meal Provider program for the homeless and food insecure in Washington State , Beverly has used her music to feed the hungry, raise awareness, volunteers, and much-needed funds as an inspirational speaker and performer. OPERATION: Sack Lunch has served more than 1.5 million meals since 1989. Beverly is the 1997 Washington State recipient of the prestigious National American Institute of Public Service “Jefferson Award“ for her humanitarian work. In 1998 she was inducted as a “Giraffe” in The Giraffe Project, an international program that recognizes people around the world who “stick their necks out for the common good”. Beverly was honored as the “Woman of Distinction for 2001, received the 2002 “Mayors End Hunger Award”, and is a 2004 Thomas C. Wales Foundation Honoree.

Featured on the Hallmark Station, Beverly is a gifted storyteller and a dynamic performer with immense positive energy, insight and vision. Her work in the corporate community on service leadership, team building, and embracing diversity, is moving and stimulating. Her music, humor, and passion for all of life, linger with you long after her performance is finished. She has an enormous ability to embody being love in action. An article by Dan Fuller states; “standing less than five feet tall, she is a giant to thousands of people who have been touched by her talent and compassion”.
