The Charles River Food C0-op announced that it seeks to fill two contract positions, and outreach coordinator and a grant researcher. The group looking to start a food store that will be owned and operated by members also seeks volunteers. See the information provided by the Co-op below.
We now have two open contract positions for paid part-time work for the co-op. Please contact info@charlesriverfood.coop for more information or if you are interested in applying.
The Outreach Coordinator will play a vital role in expanding and deepening the CRFC’s relationship with the local community. This position is designed for someone who is passionate about food justice, cooperative principles, and community-building. The Coordinator will help design and implement programs that strengthen the Coop’s ties to its members and broader neighborhood, ensuring that the Coop remains a hub for education, collaboration, and advocacy.
The Grant Researcher will create and maintain a list of grants, including foundation grants, that the co-op is eligible for, and will advise us on best practices to improve our eligibility for funding. They will approach the research with creativity and cast a wide net to identify any grants the co-op might qualify for.
Volunteering Opportunities
We’re excited to build this new collaborative endeavor with you all, but we need your help. We are at a critical moment where we have great support from our members and a lot of big ideas, but we need our community to put in the effort to make it happen. We need volunteers who are willing to put in a few hours per month to help us make our store a reality.
We have many interesting opportunities for a plethora of different skill sets from grant writing to social media to project management and more. If you are interested in helping out, we’d love to hear from you! Please fill out this form to get the process started, and we will reach out to you to discuss ideas for how you can help. We will also be discussing committee volunteering at our open house this Thursday and answering questions.
We need your help so we can make this project a success!!
As always, members are welcome to join us for our board meetings and committee meetings. See dates and joining information here: https://charlesriverfood.coop/calendar
