OVERVIEW OF POSITION
The Food & Fund (F&F) Drive program is one of the Food Bank’s most visible and important campaigns, bringing in thousands of new supporters and a significant portion of donated revenue each year. Program participation ranges from individuals who sponsor a single food barrel during the holidays, to organizations conducting high-profile public campaigns with dozens of food barrels, to competitive drives such as Food from the Bar which contains a major donor component, to online “virtual food drive” campaigns fueled by social media channels. This is a mature program that still has potential for significant growth as we continue to shift the emphasis more towards fundraising, rather than food donations.

This position is primarily focused on coordinating the logistics of barrel deliveries and retrievals, providing excellent customer service to drive participants, processing enrollments, creating barrel actions, working closely with warehouse staff and providing logistical support for seasonal and on-going F&F Drive campaigns and third-party promotional opportunities. This position also provides comprehensive administrative support, including online F&F Drive tool administration, database functions, and file management for all food and fund drives. The F&F Drive Coordinator also serves as a key contact between the Food Bank and local institutions and companies that support us annually, and is responsible for making presentations and giving tours to supporting organizations.
