Neighborhood Services, Inc.-Volunteer Manager & Grant Writer

Neighborhood Services Inc is a longstanding food pantry that has been serving our community since 1965. At our core, we provide a diverse array of shelf-stable food, quality refrigerated and frozen goods, various household necessities, and a selection of fresh produce every weekday to the Franklin County community. In line with our mission of combating the ill effects of poverty, we also have a strong social services wing dedicated to addressing any non-food related concern a neighbor might have, from fixing their car to paying their rent. Since the beginning of the Pandemic, the amount of food we distribute and more than doubled the amount of families we provide services to. In light of this growth in our general service, we are looking for individuals who wish to contribute to the continued success of our programs through the lens of program sustainability through grant writing and process streamlining. If you're looking for a passionate atmosphere to learn a lot and have a tangible impact on your community, we would love to meet you and see how you can fit our team and our mission of eradicating hunger & poverty in Franklin County.
