Healthy Harvest Corps- Lorain

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 Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio. Second Harvest is the regional nonprofit committed to hunger-relief. Working together with a vast network to acquire, gather, and distribute nutritious food, Second Harvest helps feed tens of thousands of people throughout Crawford, Erie, Huron, and Lorain counties. We realize hunger is not a choice. It affects every community in the four counties we serve. Working with our network of over 130 partner charities and 10+ school districts, including food pantries, hot meal programs, emergency shelters, mobile pantries, senior food delivery and after-school programs, we are meeting people where they are.
