MCNCE VISTA- Equitable Food Systems Coordinator

North Valley Food Bank (NVFB) services NW Montana with food assistance to more than 1200 people weekly through a free client-choice model grocery store in Whitefish and mobile pantries. NVFB mission is building food security and strengthening communities; envisioning a world with well-nourished, connected communities. In addition to the customers served directly, North Valley Food Bank serves as a food hub for NW Montana and runs pantry deliveries to FAST Blackfeet in Browning, the Bigfork Food Bank and rural pantries in the Yaak, Eureka, Libby, and Troy. The goal of this project is to reduce food insecurity and its root causes in Northwest Montana by supporting a community-led needs assessment, build sustainable systems for community-led data and embedding lived experience into program design, service delivery, and resource development to create more equitable access to nutritious food for low-income and rural households. By providing reliable access to nutritious food, the North Valley Food Bank creates immediate financial stability and improves long-term health and educational outcomes that are vital for breaking the cycle of poverty. Furthermore, by embedding lived experience into program design, this project will work to dismantle structural barriers and address root causes that foster a more equitable, self-sufficient future for rural Montana. Montana Campus Network for Civic Engagement (MCNCE) serves as the intermediary for this project. MCNCE is a coalition of colleges and universities dedicated to fostering civic engagement, service learning, and volunteerism across Montana. Led by CEOs from participating institutions, MCNCE works to improve community life and educate students on civic and social responsibility, preparing them to be thoughtful, compassionate, and engaged leaders.
