Community Food Access Coordinator
About The Position
Celebrating its 40th anniversary, Fulfill, the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, has been dedicated to addressing hunger at the Jersey Shore since 1984. Our mission is to accelerate food security throughout Monmouth & Ocean Counties by leading a collaborative movement that connects people to food and related resources while also addressing systemic barriers to self-sufficiency and well-being. We envision a vibrant, resilient community that ensures our neighbors' food security needs are fulfilled. Fulfill proudly works with a network of nearly 300 partners, including soup kitchens, food pantries and shelters, to provide 1.2 million meals per month to more than 100,000 families, children, seniors and veterans. Committed to more than just food distribution, Fulfill also offers connections to affordable healthcare options, Medicaid, SNAP and other services to help neighbors lead healthy lives with the food they need to thrive. Fulfill’s Network Engagement Team (NET) collaborates with nearly 300 partner agencies and programs to provide emergency food assistance across Monmouth and Ocean Counties. For communities without convenient access to a brick-and-mortar food pantry or community kitchen, Fulfill operates direct distribution programs, including a Mobile Pantry, Pop-the-Trunk (ie, drive-through) distribution at its Neptune headquarters, and Senior Staples, a home-delivered food box program for seniors. Prompted by growth in direct distribution programming since the pandemic, this new role will coordinate with external partners and across internal departments to ensure Fulfill provides these services with a neighbor-centered approach that reflects industry best pract ices.
