The Brazos Valley Food Bank (BVFB) is seeking an inspiring, strategic, and community-minded Executive Director to lead a highly respected regional organization into its next chapter.
This is an exciting time for BVFB. The organization has just completed and begun implementation of an ambitious three-year Strategic Plan focused on Food Access for All, Catalyzing Health, Transforming Foundational Conditions, and Mobilizing the Community.
Serving Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Madison, Robertson, and Washington Counties, BVFB reaches more than 75,000 unique neighbors each year and distributes nearly 8 million pounds of food. Its impact is supported by a network of more than 100 community partners and innovative direct-service programs including food assistance for children and seniors, School-Based Food Pantries, Mobile Food Distributions, Home Delivery, Nutrition Education, SNAP Enrollment, Food is Medicine initiatives, and Together We Grow, a workforce-readiness and economic-mobility program.
BVFB is financially strong and well positioned for continued impact, with more than $4 million in annual cash revenue, significant food assets, a fully owned and recently upgraded 50,000-square-foot facility, a fully paid fleet and infrastructure, thousands of committed volunteers, and an engaged Board of Directors.
