We're Hiring!

Bilingual Food Pantry Assistant — Sundays, 1:30–6:30 p.m. This role provides Spanish-English translation support for our Spanish-speaking clients during food pantry distribution.

Senior Lunch Assistant — Thursdays, 8:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. at Norwood Town Hall. This role supports our Senior Lunch Cook with prep, service, and clean-up.

We’d love a candidate who’s excited to fill both roles and be part of community-facing food systems work, but applying for just one is completely fine.

As a nonprofit, we all wear multiple hats to get the job done — including working alongside volunteers — so a positive attitude and team spirit are a must.

For hours, pay rates, and more detailed information, please visit: https://freshfoodhub.net/fresh-ideas/

¡Estamos Contratando!

Asistente Bilingüe de Despensa de Alimentos — Domingos, 1:30–6:30 p.m. Este puesto brinda apoyo de traducción español-inglés para nuestros clientes de habla hispana durante la distribución de la despensa de alimentos.

Asistente de Almuerzo para Personas Mayores — Jueves, 8:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. en el Ayuntamiento de Norwood. Este puesto brinda apoyo a nuestra Cocinera del Almuerzo para Personas Mayores con la preparación, el servicio y la limpieza.

Nos encantaría contar con un candidato o candidata entusiasmado/a por cubrir ambos puestos y formar parte del trabajo comunitario de sistemas alimentarios, pero postularse para solo uno también está totalmente bien.

Como organización sin fines de lucro, todos desempeñamos múltiples funciones para realizar el trabajo, incluyendo colaborar junto a voluntarios, por lo que una actitud positiva y espíritu de equipo son indispensables.
