Our programs provide reliable access to healthy, culturally familiar food. We do this through a grocery store styled food pantry, off-site pantries, a grab and go café for our unhoused customers, and home delivery service. We also collaborate with local schools on a backpack program to help feed kids over the weekend. We also operate a rooftop farm to grow vegetables for our pantry and provide youth focused gardening education. Our on-site social worker connects customers to resources which promote economic, housing, and family stability. The member will support all aspects of our programming and have the opportunity to serve in all locations. We will conduct rolling review of applications and interviews until position is filled.
