Volunteer Recruitment & Outreach Coordinator

Volunteer Recruitment & Outreach Coordinator

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.
