Community Pantry Assistant

5 months ago

Cambridge, Canada Cambridge Self Help Food Bank Full time

**Overview**
The Community Pantry provides emergency food to individuals and families in need up to 12 times yearly. We see an incredible diversity in the people who access this support, from singles to families, young people and older adults, people struggling paycheque to paycheque, and those experiencing homelessness. Each person who walks in our door should be treated with welcome and hospitality and receive support with kindness and without judgment.

On a daily basis you will be solving problems and resolving challenges. Most times you will be stocking shelves or loading the refrigerator (_**there is a lot of heavy lifting in this role**_) and at other times you’ll be pulling a mop bucket cleaning up messes. It’s all in a day’s work ensuring dignified access to healthy food.

**About You**:
While your main focus is serving our community, you also know how to stay organized and motivate volunteers. You are fueled by doing good work, and so you don’t avoid any aspects of the job. You know that good work is complex, and in this role helping people get excited about the protein content in quinoa is equally important to ensuring the Community Pantry, and the Food Bank in general, is clean, tidy, and safe (a role we all play).

You know that when you serve the diversity of our community, you will need to be adaptable, patient, kind, and courageous. You’re comfortable with complexity, see the beauty, and appreciate the uniqueness and importance of each individual, even when they are rude or causing a scene. Our role is not to judge but to serve with compassion, and that’s simply how you walk in this world.

You are comfortable spending 8 hours each day on your feet, you understand proper lifting techniques, and you can manage to lift boxes weighing up to 50 pounds on a continual basis.
- Does the profile above sound like you, or mostly like you? Does the thought of serving our community and making an impact on food security get you excited? Then we want you to get in touch with us._

**Required Skills and Qualifications**
- A commitment to the values and mission of the Cambridge Food Bank, with a desire to treat everyone with kindness, respect, and compassion
- Experience working with volunteers, preferably in a not-for-profit setting
- An educational or experiential background that will support you in this work
- Ability to work with complex populations and ability to remain calm and deescalate
- Ability to organize and prioritize work, set and meet deadlines, manage resources, and work independently
- Possess cultural awareness and sensitivity as well as sensitivity to issues related to living in poverty
