At Moveable Feast, our mission is to improve the health of Marylanders experiencing food insecurity and chronic illness by preparing and delivering medically tailored meals and providing nutrition education, thereby achieving racial, social, and health equity.
Volunteering as a dietitian assistant allows for you to personally connect with our clients over the phone. Support the Nutrition team by reaching out to new clients to assess their current health and nutritional status through a set of guided questions. Your call will be an introduction to the Medical Nutrition Therapy services that Moveable Feast provides, and you will help the team prioritize those who are most in need of nutritional counseling.
All client calls are done from our office, and volunteers have the option of choosing their shift hours Monday-Friday between 9am-3pm. All scripts and training will be provided on site by our Nutrition team. This position would be a great fit for folks who feel comfortable speaking to clients on the phone and keeping detailed notes. Volunteers with medical background are a plus!

Description
Moveable Feast was founded in 1989 by a group of volunteers delivering home-cooked meals to those living with HIV and AIDS in Baltimore City. The Home Delivered Meals Program was made to not only feed people who were homebound and unable to feed themselves, but also to help break the stigma of the AIDS epidemic and give clients the comfort knowing they were cared for. In the past 30 years, as medical treatment for HIV has dramatically improved, the average age of clients rose. Staff saw a need for healthy food among those living with co-morbid conditions or other critical illnesses (cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, renal insufficiency and those in hospice), so eligibility requirements were expanded. With the guidance of our Registered Dietitians, Moveable Feast has improved the quality of our meals, which are now considered medically-tailored and heart-healthy. Clients are matched with the menu type that best compliments their medical treatment and health goals. We began serving the Eastern Shore in 2001, and in 2020, Moveable Feast home delivered over 499,000 medically-tailored meals to 2,006 clients.
Moveable Feast provides the Home Delivered Meals Program and Medical Nutrition Therapy Program to clients living in Baltimore City and the following counties: Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Caroline, Carroll, Cecil, Dorchester, Harford, Howard, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Somerset, Talbot, Wicomico, and Worcester.
Our Medical Transportation Program serves clients residing in Baltimore City who are living with HIV/AIDS.
