Food Fuels Learning Coordinator AmeriCorps VISTA Position - CCFSC and Portland Public Schools - Cumberland County ​Food Security Council
Description:
Cumberland County Food Security Council’s (CCFSC) mission is to increase food access for vulnerable people in our County by working to initiate, strategize and innovate solutions to hunger. Our work serves communities, families and people working to solve their own economic challenges and working to build food security. CCFSC convenes the Portland Public Schools Food Security Task Force which is a group of stakeholders interested in supporting, bolstering, and addressing gaps in food security work happening in local schools.
The overall goal of the Food Fuels Learning initiative is to increase food security for Portland students and families. It is critical to coordinate food programs to maximize efficiency and access all nutrition resources available to our community.

Other responsibilities include strengthening the volunteer infrastructure and supporting our efforts to build food security in public schools by representing the CCFSC in local committees.
