AgCorps Farm to Pantry Specialist
 
 
 
Helena Food Share is a community food resource center created to help provide emergency food to our neighbors who face hunger. Our mission is to serve our neighbors in need by providing food in a respectful and dignified way and, by working with others, eliminate hunger in the greater Helena area. We are in the process of moving into a new facility, which will increase our capacity and allow us to be more creative in how we approach food insecurity. The new building will include a commercial kitchen, community room and teaching kitchen, and much larger coolers and freezers to store product. These features will allow us to do more education and Montana based purchasing. While serving with Helena Food Share, the AgCorps member will focus on addressing food insecurity in the community. Some activities include developing education and outreach materials, expanding ag-education services, and partnering with other organizations in the community. Helena Food Share staff and volunteers will also be starting a new garden on the property and expanding into larger production on donated land in the Helena valley.
