Volunteer Board Member – Help Lead a Veteran & Hunger Relief Nonprofit

Connections For Humanity (CFH) is a Philadelphia-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving the community for over 13 years with two primary missions: supporting veterans and military families, and providing food assistance to low-income families, seniors, and individuals.

We are seeking dedicated Volunteer Board Members to help guide and strengthen our organization during an important rebuilding and growth phase. This is a leadership and governance role, not a short-term or event-based volunteer position.

• Support fundraising and donor development efforts

• Provide professional skills, advice, and community connections

• Act as an ambassador for CFH in the community

• Support strategic planning and organizational decision-making

Qualifications:

• Strong commitment to helping veterans and addressing food insecurity

• Willingness to actively participate and follow through on commitments

• Ability to work as part of a team and communicate respectfully

• Experience in business, nonprofit work, fundraising, finance, legal, marketing, or community outreach is helpful but not required

• Prior board experience is welcomed but not required

Time Commitment:

This is an ongoing volunteer leadership role. Board members are expected to attend meetings, participate in committee work, and support organizational activities throughout the year.

Why Join Our Board:

• Help strengthen a long-standing grassroots nonprofit

• Use your skills to make a real impact in the community

• Support veterans, families, seniors, and individuals in need

• Be part of shaping the future of Connections For Humanity
