Meet the Staff
Kincaid DennettDirector of Member ServicesKincaid has been in the orbit of POOCH since they first visited Lawrence in 2009. After living out of a van in the Bay Area and falling in with a group of radicals working on fighting gentrification and evictions in the Mission neighborhood in San Francisco, they returned to Lawrence to join the fight to organize communities against hunger and unfair housing here in their adopted hometown. In 2015, Kincaid and a group of friends reestablished the Lawrence chapter of Food Not Bombs, an activist organization founded on the belief that access to nutritious food is a human right. Kincaid became POOCH's Member Services Coordinator and Director of Operations in January of 2018 with the intention of engaging the POOCH community in establishing more equitable housing practices and outfacing organizing and advocacy centered around their mission to uphold anti-oppressive practices. They have also lived in Ad Astra Cooperative since 2017 and love every minute of it.
