Executive Director - Good Cheer, Whidbey Island, WA

Salary: $100,000–$130,000 | Deadline: Sept 30, 2025 (rolling until filled)

Good Cheer, which has served Whidbey Island since 1962, is on a mission to create a hunger-free community. Our grocery-store-style food bank lets guests “shop” with points based on household size, prioritizing healthy, whole foods. We also operate two thrift stores, a donation center, and over 1.5 acres of gardens supplying fresh produce year-round, plus a Community Connection program linking guests to essential services.

We seek an Executive Director to lead strategy, oversee operations, manage staff, advance programs, strengthen community partnerships, and ensure financial health. This role requires collaborative leadership, strong communication skills, and experience in nonprofit or mission-driven management. Familiarity with fundraising, strategic planning, and digital tools (Google Workspace, MS Office) is essential.

This position is based at our Bayview facility in Langley, Washington on Whidbey Island; regular visits to our other sites in downtown Langley and Clinton, WA required.
