Healthy Harvest Corps- Columbus

Healthy Harvest Corps (HHC) is an AmeriCorps program administered by the Ohio Association of Foodbanks as part of a coordinated statewide effort to expand and sustain Food Is Medicine initiatives. These initiatives recognize access to healthy food as a critical component of improving health outcomes and overall well-being. AmeriCorps volunteers will play an important role in addressing hunger as a social determinant of health by supporting programs that connect individuals and families with nutritious food resources. Through the Healthy Harvest Corps program, OAF will place 13 AmeriCorps members at 8 host sites across Ohio to support Food Is Medicine initiatives and strengthen community-based hunger relief efforts. This position is located at Mid-Ohio Food Collective (MOFC) in Grove City, a suburb of Columbus. MOFC is Ohio’s largest food bank and a leading force in the fight against hunger, serving 20 counties through a network of more than 600 partner agencies. Our mission extends beyond food distribution - we are committed to ending hunger one nourishing meal at a time while co-creating communities where everyone thrives. MOFC operates five assets: Mid-Ohio Foodbank, Mid-Ohio Markets, Mid-Ohio Farm, Mid-Ohio Farmacy, and Mid-Ohio Kitchen. Together, these programs provide fresh food distribution, grocery-style markets, urban farming, nutrition-integrated healthcare, and prepared meals.
