Board of Advisors - Coastal Foodshed

Board of Advisors

Coastal Foodshed https://coastalfoodshed.org/ is a vital organization that helps to create a more equitable and sustainable food system.  By supporting small farmers and promoting local food, they are working towards a future in which everyone has access to healthy, delicious, and sustainable food. We source locally grown foods directly from farmers in southeastern MA and host local farmers markets, run a mobile farmstand, as well as distributing those foods through an online market. We aim to those households living in communities without enough places to buy fresh, healthy food, (food deserts) or relying on SNAP benefits to purchase the majority of their groceries.   We are growing and looking to expand our Board of Advisors (BOA) and Board of Directors. We are looking for a financially-minded person who loves food to help us work towards our mission. Bonus if you have experience working in agriculture, food distribution, or non-profits. This role includes reviewing financial documents, providing opinions, and sharing ideas for how best to expand Coastal Foodshed’s connection to the community.
