Meet Mary Lee Maier

mary lee maier

Mary Lee Maier is the mother of Mindy Cunningham of Cunningham Restaurant Group (CRG). Due to CRG’s extensive support of the pantry, Mike Cunningham was asked to name the pantry. He did so in honor of his mother-in-law. Mary Lee was a dedicated kindergarten teacher in Cincinnati for more than 20 years, and an active and involved community member. She influenced children through her involvement in PTA, Girl Scouts, the Cincinnati Jayceettes, and as a church elder. She also volunteered as an instructor at her beloved swim club and inner-city public schools. Her passion and energy in providing kids with opportunity embodies the spirit of the Mary Lee Maier Community Pantry.
