Foundation For Essential Needs
Organizational Overview:
FFEN is a nimble, innovative and entrepreneurial nonprofit investing dollars and practical expertise into improving the financial and operational capacity of Minnesota food shelves. In the rapidly changing hunger relief environment, we offer pragmatic and free assistance to food shelves reinventing themselves to better serve more clients. We operate by building trust-based relationships with local food shelves and support them to incorporate increased business and service best practices in their work. We believe that a strong and stable food shelf system is critical to our communities and our vision is for the system to provide equitable, healthy & predictable food options throughout the state.
Impact:
Due to COVID 19, food shelves have faced urgent pressure to create safe and efficient processes to get food to their community members. Many food shelves partner with FFEN on layout redesign to think through the efficient movement of people through their space or designing a space with the capacity to provide fresh food to their community. This is a dynamic role where no two food shelf projects are the same.
Volunteer Position Purpose:
To support food shelves in their capacity to serve their communities, FFEN works alongside food shelves to transform their food shelf. Many times, this looks like a food shelf layout redesign! There are many reasons a food shelf will want to redesign their space; e.g. wanting to create a more welcoming environment for food shelf users, needing to allow for more families to be in their space at once, or switching their distribution model! This position would review the current food shelf layout, and recommend new layout options.
