Nutrition Program Lead
About The Position
At Nashville CARES, we believe access to nutritious food is a critical part of healthcare. Through the CARES Store, clients living with HIV can choose the foods that best meet their needs rather than receiving a pre-packed box. This role combines program management, logistics, client support, volunteer oversight, and community partnership building. Some days you’ll be reviewing invoices and inventory reports. Other days you’ll be helping a client shop in the store, training new volunteers, or unloading a delivery. If you’re someone who enjoys creating order out of complexity, values both spreadsheets and people, and wants your work to have a direct impact on the health of your community, we’d love to meet you.
