Bi-lingual - SNAP Outreach Worker

Why We Exist

At the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, we believe that no one should go hungry, not today, not ever. Hunger isn’t just about food; it’s about dignity, opportunity, and the power of community. Every meal we provide is a step toward hope, a step toward equity, and a step toward a future where food insecurity is no longer a reality.

We’re not just a food bank, we’re a movement. A team of dedicated individuals, rowing together, driven by a shared commitment to making a real, measurable impact. Every role here, from warehouse operations to community outreach, is part of a bigger mission,
Feeding the hungry today and solving hunger for tomorrow through community partnership.

This is not the place to chase titles, clock in for a paycheck, or climb a corporate ladder. This is the place for people who care deeply, work hard, and stand together, because the work we do is bigger than any one of us. If you’re looking to be part of a team that values purpose over prestige and collaboration over competition, we’d love to have you on board.

At the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, we don’t just feed people, we fuel change. Come be a part of something greater; we’re not just a paycheck!
