Face to Face Welcomes Executive Director: Kevin McAllister
Kevin is a mission-driven leader and innovative change agent with more than 20 years of experience advancing nonprofit organizations. He brings with him a proven track record of strengthening financial sustainability, building high-impact partnerships, and guiding organizations through pivotal moments of growth and change.
Most recently, Kevin served as Development Director at the California Council on Science and Technology, where he built the organization’s first comprehensive development infrastructure. Prior to that, he led Meals on Wheels Sacramento County, where he expanded the budget from $5 million to $12.5 million in under two years. Kevin has also held executive leadership roles at Rainbow Community Center, California Coalition for Youth, and other organizations serving vulnerable communities.
“We are thrilled to welcome Kevin to Face to Face,” said Andres Correa, Board President. “His depth of experience, proven leadership, and unwavering commitment to community health and equity will ensure we continue to deliver vital services while expanding our impact in HIV prevention, care, and harm reduction across Sonoma County.
Kevin’s community involvement includes serving on the board of Sonoma Family Meal and previously leading Meals on Wheels California as Board President. He is also the recipient of several distinguished honors, including Comstock’s Young Professionals 2022 Honoree, Sacramento Business Journal’s 40 Under 40, and the Sacramento LGBT Community Center’s Pride Award.
“I am honored to join Face to Face and continue its legacy of service and advocacy,” said Kevin McAllister. “This work is about saving lives, restoring hope, and standing alongside our community in the fight against overdose and health inequities. Each year, Sonoma County loses an average of 121 people to accidental overdose. These are not statistics. They are our children, parents, neighbors, and friends. At Face to Face, harm reduction is at the heart of our work, provided both in our offices and through mobile outreach across the county. In 2024, our efforts were tied to nearly 3,000 reported overdose reversals, a number that represents only a fraction of our true impact. Each reversal represents a life saved, a family spared unbearable loss, and a community strengthened by care and compassion.”
