Wake Forest Community Table - Food Security Specialist
 
 
 
Wake County Cooperative Extension (WCCE) is hosting a Food Security VISTA Program in collaboration with four partner sub-sites. VISTA Members will perform one-year assignments to improve food security in Wake County and build the capacity of their assigned site(s). Wake Forest Community Table will be hosting a Food Security Specialist position to support their operations. The mission of Wake Forest Community Table is to connect members of the community to the essential resources of food and personal care items and to each other through community gatherings. We seek to transform the systems that necessitate the services the organization provides. The VISTA member’s primary goal will be to continue to build the capacity in the second year of our operating as an independent 501(C)3 after operating for six years with St. John’s Episcopal Church as our fiduciary sponsor. The VISTA member will build capacity by creating systems and procedures that will broaden the organizations volunteer base, connect with and support community partners and gardens more efficiently and increase the number of meals and produce bags that are served each week.
