Andria Larson

Executive Director

Andria Larson is the Executive Director of Lasagna Love, the global nonprofit kindness movement dedicated to spreading compassion through home-cooked meal delivery. Rising from one of the organization’s very first volunteers to its top leadership, Andria embodies the spirit of service and community that defines Lasagna Love.

With an entrepreneurial background in the food and service industry, Andria’s journey began during her 12 years in San Diego, California, where she connected with founder Rhiannon Menn in the earliest days of Lasagna Love. What started as small acts of kindness—neighbors cooking lasagnas to support families—quickly grew into a movement. Andria, who felt her own need to give back, became a cornerstone in transforming Lasagna Love into a nationally and globally recognized nonprofit.

Today, as Executive Director of Lasagna Love, Andria oversees the expansion of a volunteer network that now includes more than 80,000 volunteers worldwide. Her leadership encompasses human resources, financial stewardship, policy development, and compliance, while also managing press outreach, social media, and event planning to further the mission. Her ability to handle strategic planning, operations, and crisis management has been central to the nonprofit’s growth and resilience.

Prior to her work with Lasagna Love, Andria held leadership roles across well-known companies, including Hallmark Cards, Black Angus Steakhouse, American Girl (Mattel), and Chipotle Mexican Grill. She also ran her own restaurant, giving her hands-on expertise in business operations, training, and people management. She is a certified ServeSafe professional and an active member of the American Legion Auxiliary.

Beyond her professional role, Andria continues to serve her community. She has been a volunteer Lasagna Chef, Local Leader, Regional Director, Operations Director, and Chief of Staff within Lasagna Love, while also contributing time to the YMCA of Southwest Illinois in aquatics instruction and lifeguarding.

Outside of work, Andria is a proud mom based in St. Louis, Missouri, where she enjoys attending her daughter’s horseback riding lessons, supporting her son’s band practices, and cooking meals for family and friends. Live music and art events are her favorite ways to recharge, reflecting her passion for creativity and connection.
