StarkFresh Microbusiness Development Coordinator 2021 VISTA

StarkFresh is a small, but mighty 501(c )3 nonprofit located in Canton, Ohio & servicing Stark County, Ohio. Our mission is tackling the causes of hunger by creating realistic pathways out of poverty. Although our organization has been around in various fashions since 1983, we didn’t start focusing on food insecurity until 2012. Being a small organization with several large-scale programs & a limited paid staff, we are quite adept at utilizing partnerships & our volunteer network to keep the programs running smoothly. There are several programs that we currently operate that advance our mission and reduce or remove barriers to break the cycle of poverty and provide fresh, nutritious food in chronically underserved neighborhoods throughout the County. These programs include a Teaching Farm, Training Farm Cooperative Farm, Free Seed Library network, Food Justice Campus which houses the Food Incubation Center, a Shared Commercial Kitchen Space, a Shared Office Space, Nonprofit Neighborhood Grocery Store, and the Mobile Grocery Market.
