Food Network Recruitment - Outreach Ambassadors

Volunteer Opportunity: Outreach Ambassador, Food Charity Network

Every day, good food goes to waste while neighbors go hungry. Food Charity Network, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is launching a platform that connects food donors (restaurants, grocers, caterers, farms, and event venues) directly with local food charities, to create hyper local food networks so surplus food reaches people instead of landfills and for produce donations to increase through a more efficient data-informed donation model.

We’re preparing for launch and looking for Outreach Ambassadors to help build the network from day one.

What you’ll do

• Identify and reach out to food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and community organizations in your area
• Connect with potential food donors such as restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, caterers, and farms
• Explain how the platform works and help organizations sign up
• Track your outreach and share feedback on what organizations need
• Represent Food Charity Network at community events (optional)

Who we’re looking for

• People who care about food access, sustainability, or their local community
• Comfortable with calls, emails, or in-person conversations
• Organized and self-motivated, able to work independently
• Bilingual English/Spanish speakers especially welcome (our platform supports both)
• Students, retirees, professionals, and anyone with a few hours to give
• Access to transport as necessary to carry out the work

Commitment

• 4-6 hours per week (minimum), flexible and hybrid
• Location / region focus: Connecticut
• Start date: October 2026, ahead of our November/December launch

What you’ll get

• Real nonprofit outreach and partnership-building experience
• Volunteer hours documentation and a reference letter on request
• The chance to be part of a launch team that shapes how the network grows
• A direct role in getting food to people who need it
