Who we are

We cultivate community-driven food justice through education and food access.  We provide access to healthy food for our community and a space that is self-affirming, empowering, and enriching to enable those we work with to tap into their full potential.

We confront the issue of food access on multiple fronts, with the well-being of the community we are a part of and serve at the core - this includes food  access programming,  educational opportunities related to growing and cooking food and programming on promoting overall wellness.  We are on the path to being a truly community-driven organization, meaning that all of our programs will be led by members of our community or those like ours.  What we are looking for in YOU - We are looking for a truly unique leader, someone with a deep capacity to listen, learn, and lead.  

Listen - we sit at a critical intersection point for the community we serve, and as such, we have an obligation to listen to what our community, staff, and other stakeholders want and need - You listen first and then skillfully synthesize insights that lead to bold action.  

Learn - while we are looking to bring on someone with experience that aligns to our organization AND the functional knowledge required to lead a multi-faceted operations organization, we also know you will need to roll up your sleeves and learn from our staff, community, ED, and Board.  If you are looking for a place to come in and deploy a very prescriptive playbook, this is not the place.  If you are looking to co-create processes and drive operational efficiency  through deep listening, staff and community empowerment, and humility, we'd love to talk to you.

Lead - You know how to work across differences of all kinds to find common ground and build upon it.  You have confidence in leading teams and confidence in knowing you have more to learn in becoming a better leader.  You have a knack for details and process, whether defining HR processes to support the growth of our staff, establishing uniform processes across the entire organization, or building process to ensure we are effectively managing our finances.
