POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT
 
EVERY MEAL
DIRECTOR of FINANCE and administration
​

ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW
 
Every Meal exists to fight child hunger through community and school partnerships. Through its network of community partners, Every Meal works hard to get food to kids who live in food insecurity. Every Meal strives to make a difference in children’s lives by specifically focusing on food “gaps” - the times when the children aren’t at school to access the meal programs. The organizations has had tremendous growth in the last ten years, going from serving one school to over 500 distribution sites, but there are still 300,000 kids in Minnesota who don’t have enough to eat.
 
Every Meal develops and supports successful partnerships between sponsoring community organizations and schools in need. This partnership-based model ensures a broad and sustainable impact in the fight against child hunger because it addresses the real problem of distribution, not supply.
 
Every Meal has a staff of 39, with plans to continue growing. Annual budget is just shy of $7 million. Every Meal is an organization that cherishes its Mission, Vision, and Values. Interest individuals should review those before applying (https://www.everymeal.org/about/mission).
