Opportunity Council - FFB Community Engagement VISTA
 
 
 
The Foothills Food Bank (FFB) serves a rural food and healthcare desert in East Whatcom County. Founded in 1986, FFB is a 501c(3) nonprofit dedicated to improving food access to all. The Community Engagement Coordinator (CEC) VISTA will build capacity for the FFB by enhancing our Volunteer System, encouraging healthy choices for FFB clients via innovative program development and partnerships, and working with the FFB Executive Director to research and implement increased funding capacity to serve the FFB Community. The CEC VISTA will also evaluate systems in place and work to improve or modify to ensure organizational resilience and sustainability. The VISTA member will help move people out of poverty by creating systems for FFB clients to have meaningful engagement as partners for a healthy community. By increasing access to a healthy food shopping model, food bank clients will be able to address their unique next steps to creating economic sufficiency.
