Save to Favorites

The Little Free Pantries Project is seeking someone bright, enthusiastic, savvy and not afraid to think "outside the box" and edit the voices of pantry hosts into digestible content for both web and social media platforms. We are an all volunteer, grassroots driven organization www.thelittlefreepantries.org

Do you have a passion for connecting people and building community through a common purpose? Are you passionate about reducing barriers to food and delivering an avenue for people to resource food on a hyper local level by way of neighbors supporting neighbors? If so, The Little Free Pantries Project may be right for you!

This vital role is part of a graphics design team in creating a vibrant and active online community, promoting and sharing the voice and messaging of food insecurity and the power a Little Free Pantry can hold for a community. As a member of our graphics design team, you’ll work collectively with a small team of volunteers, managing & editing video content for the public.

We believe food resources should be available to all regardless of need. Little Free Pantries are a mode to deliver food through mutual aid, allowing us to function as neighbors in solidarity rather than charity, ensuring the organizing effort is mutually beneficial and all people are cared for. Little Free Pantries are a zero-barrier access point to food, allowing for non-judgemental, anonymous access to food. Food is freely exchanged, acknowledging some may need more while others need less. Little Free Pantries not only support neighbors who are facing food insecurity but also build micro-communities. They empower people to make immediate change toward their neighborhood.

Diversity and Inclusion:

Equity is fundamental to our mission to fight hunger and nourish our community. Where we live, how much money we make, or the color of our skin currently influences access to healthy and culturally-appropriate foods. We must address the roots of these inequities so everyone in our community has the opportunity to live their best life. We invite individuals from different abilities, ethnicities, genders, races, religions, sexual orientations, age and socioeconomic backgrounds to take part in and shape our work.

• Inputting sound to enhance footage, which may include selecting music
