• Support food access and distribution efforts when needed.
• Help organize and promote community and fundraising events.
• Assist with donor communication, event materials, and online donation tools.
• Represent CFC at community tabling opportunities and public events.

Who You Are

• A strong writer and creative thinker who knows how to connect with diverse audiences.
• A proactive, organized team player who can juggle multiple projects with ease.
• Experienced in social media, marketing tools (Canva, Wix), and office systems (Bloomerang, Office 365, Asana).
• Energized by working with people—volunteers, community partners, donors, and your teammates.
• Passionate about community-based work, especially food access and food justice.

Preferred Experience:

• 2+ years in communications, marketing, or public relations (internships count!)
• 1 year with event planning or volunteer coordination
