Who We Are:

Oregon Food Bank (OFB) believes that no one should be hungry. Our mission is to eliminate hunger and its root causes.  We believe that food and health are basic human rights for all. We know that hunger is not just an individual experience; it is also a community-wide symptom of systemic barriers to employment, education, housing and health care such as systemic racism, sexism, and cissexism. That’s why we work systemically to achieve our mission to end hunger: we foster community connections to help people access nutritious food, and we build community power and strengthen networks of support and the safety net to eliminate the root causes of hunger for good.

We build community power to dismantle systems and policies that drive hunger and poverty.

Oregon Food Bank is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and we strongly encourage applications from candidates who can increase the diversity of our organization and strengthen our capacity to eliminate hunger. We believe strongly in the power of lived experience — and we actively seek individuals who have experienced hunger and its root causes to join our team. Our organization is stronger because of the leadership of people who have faced food insecurity in their own lives and/or hail from historically under-represented communities.

Who You Are:

You care deeply about community, about people experiencing hunger and hold them in the center of all that you do. You are committed to apply equity as a process and an outcome of your work to disrupt systemic social patterns that promote hunger such as racism, sexism, and cissexism.  You have a strong affinity with OFB’s 10 Year Vision and are profoundly excited to achieve this vision for and with our community.

Position Summary: You will join 45+ Community Philanthropy colleagues, passionately and collaboratively building relationships to end hunger and hunger’s root causes. Together we mobilize $40M+ in annual support for Oregon Food Bank’s mission while advancing Rooted + Rising: A $50M+ transformational campaign to realize OFB’s 10-Year Vision. We undertake this work while reclaiming philanthropy’s true meaning, a love for humankind. Love manifests as action in many forms, taken for the common good, which we inspire and facilitate through the design of community-centric programs with equity at their core. Learn more from our team members daring to imagine and leading to create a more just experience of philanthropy.
