Fight Food Insecurity and Food Waste in Caldwell and Nampa! Seeking Leadership!

In the United States this year, it is estimated that 47 million people will experience food insecurity while we throw away 40% of our food supply. At a time when there is so much hunger and we are experiencing the effects of climate change firsthand, we are throwing away the very food that could feed those in need and reduce its impact on climate change. Using a web-based app, Food Rescue US engages volunteers to transfer fresh food surpluses from local businesses to social service agencies serving the food insecure.

Food Rescue US - Canyon County is searching for strong leaders to co-manage a well established and vibrant food recovery program in Canyon County. The role of Site Director primarily involves creating and managing partnerships within the community. The role requires excellent organizational skills, comfort with technology, and, of course, some commitment of your time. While most of the work can be done on a very flexible schedule, it does require receiving and responding to emails, text messages, and calls in a timely manner. The Food Rescue US Site Directors bring different skill sets and experiences to our work, but they all share a passion for their community and our mission.

Please reach out to Haley Schulman (haley@foodrescue.us) to further discuss this volunteer role.
