Hiring for a Cooperative Food Distribution Initiative Coordinator!
Applications are due Monday January 14th, 4pm.
OPIRG Kingston, the National Farmer’s Union Local 316, The Partners in Mission Food Bank and The Sisters of Providence are working on a Cooperative Food Distribution Initiative. We aim to develop a system for reclaiming fresh produce headed for the waste stream in local restaurants, grocers and institutions. This produce will supply existing food providers/meal programs. Our local innovation will be to simultaneously distribute sustainably grown local food, bought at fair prices from local farmers, to the same restaurants, grocers and institutions, as a fundraising activity for the reclamation program.
We are hiring a Coordinator for a 45 week contract to start January 28th, 2008. The position will be $21/hr at 23hrs/wk. The CFDI Coordinator will conduct a Feasibility and Development Study, conduct a Pilot of the program and more.
Download the Request for Proposals, which includes information about the position and download the two supporting documents: Food Reclamation Program and CFDI Backgrounder.
