Job Board

We are committed to working to identify and dismantle systemic forms of oppression in the food system. Racialized people and others from equity-seeking groups are over-represented in food insecurity and poverty statistics, but are significantly under-represented in community-based food work. We believe the Black community, low-income communities, and other equity-deserving groups must play a central role in defining food justice and its priorities. We believe that those most affected by an issue must have access to paid positions in organizations tasked with challenging poverty and food insecurity.

Note: If you do not meet all of the qualifications, but think this job is perfect for you, we encourage you to include any transferable skills and experiences in your application because we would still love to see your application.

If you feel you need accommodation during the application process, please do not hesitate to contact Human Resources at hr@foodshare.net at your earliest convenience. You will also be briefed on FoodShare’s policies regarding accommodation and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.
