Food & Resilience Program VISTA - Oberlin Community Services
 
 
 
Oberlin Community Services (OCS) is a dynamic, responsive non-profit organization dedicated to building community by offering assistance and empowerment especially to the under-served community. We provide food and other direct assistance, referrals, outreach services and educational support to Oberlin and southern Lorain County residents who seek help meeting basic needs. Programs include a food pantry, gardening, emergency financial assistance, and educational opportunities to help families become more resilient against hardship.

Member Duties : Roughly 350-400 families access the Oberlin Community Services food pantry each week on average, taking home meat, bread, canned goods, and fresh produce. However, many do not grow fresh and nutritious fruits and vegetables at home. In this role, you will develop a build-a-garden program to encourage growing sustainable and inexpensive food at home. Through this program, you will address hunger, reduce grocery costs, and foster positive health outcomes in our community. You will also collaborate with other staff members to develop educational opportunities on food preparation using our new large-scale kitchen. Finally, you will expand food rescue operations, mitigating food waste and reducing hunger in our community. Join our dynamic team today! **Benefits include a monthly $200 housing stipend to supplement living costs.**
