About Metro Caring

Metro Caring works with our community to meet people’s immediate need for nutritious, culturally relevant food while building a movement to end hunger at its root. Our innovative programming spans Healthy Food Access, Nutrition Education, Community Connections, and Organizing. We know that hunger is not caused by a lack of food—but by poverty, unaffordable housing, systemic racism, and inequities baked into our food systems.

That’s why we focus on bold, community-driven solutions that promote food justice and economic equity.

• Pursue Equity

As a high-capacity leader, the Volunteer Recruitment & Outreach Coordinator helps build and strengthen our volunteer community by connecting with potential volunteers, sharing opportunities, and creating meaningful ways for people to get involved.

This role ensures positive and productive volunteer experience while aligning volunteer efforts with Metro Caring’s mission and values. All Coordinators are cross-trained and expected to step into and support one another’s roles as needed to ensure continuity of operations, including during staff absences, schedule gaps, or periods of increased demand.
