PHENND Fellows: Food Security VISTA

For 19 years, Feast of Justice has provided hope to food-insecure families in Northeast Philadelphia. Nearly 6000 households rely upon our fresh-forward, culturally-relevant, full choice food pantry, as well as nutrition, health, counseling, and other resources that can stabilize a household, as well as the wider community. Through established programs across 2 sites, we see and serve over 500 families each week–families who rely upon our support to address their hunger, meet their needs, and offer a source of ongoing community with hope.

Member Duties : The overarching goal is to grow the capacity of Feast of Justice to address food insecurity in our local community. Specifically, the VISTA will participate in the following areas, choosing a main focus area that best meets their interest and skills: Volunteer Coordination–to assist with coordinating and empowering over 800 volunteers who, in total, contribute 450 hours weekly to our mission. Strategic Initiative Coordination–to assist with researching and implementing business models to develop revenue streams to sustain our programming. Marketing Coordination–to help us reach more families through communications that increase public awareness and engagement opportunities. The VISTA members will work as part of a leadership team to best reach our population and respond to emergent needs, while independently completing goals and objectives specific to their role.
