Food Distribution AmeriCorps VISTA Member

Seeking full-time AmeriCorps VISTA member to assist with the City Seeds Food Distribution program, a community food security project in St. Louis.

The member will coordinate weekly distribution of subsidized food boxes grown by rural farmers to households in disadvantaged neighborhoods. The food security effort creates new markets for small farmers while providing access to affordable, fresh produce in urban areas. The program also includes nutrition education.

Tasks include recruiting food recipients and growers, recruiting and incoporating new distribution sites and corner stores into the food distribution program, organizing planning meetings, visiting distribution sites, attending food distributions, creating nutritional materials (i.e. recipes) and overall logistics.

AmeriCorps VISTA members receive a living stipend and are required to make a 1-3 year commitment to the VISTA project.
