What are the responsibilities and job description for the Community Gardens Coordinator II position at Carolina Farm Stewardship Association?
About The Organization
Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is a nonpartisan, 501c3 non-profit organization and a member of the Feeding America National Network of Food Banks. Our programs seek to support neighbors in our community for whom access to nutritious food is a barrier. We aim to alleviate that barrier by recovering and distributing food and resources to our various agency partners. As a result, our neighbors can access food at no cost at mobile markets and food pantries throughout our seven-county service area, including Wake, Durham, Johnston, Orange, Chatham, Nash, and Edgecombe counties.
We also recognize that simply putting food on the table is not enough. We aim to break the systemic cycle of food insecurity and empower our neighbors to meet their own food needs. Some of the ways we achieve this include culinary job training, beginner gardening, and teaching our neighbors to cook nutritious meals on a budget.
