Program Overview

The Neighbor Services Team at Second Harvest Heartland connects neighbors with resources, providing food resources is essential in connecting our Neighbors with immediate and additional assistance. They are looking for a skilled volunteer who can assist with our extensive resource list to achieve more timely management and updates within our ServiceNow and compiled Excel spreadsheets. Second Harvest Heartland has developed a Resource Locator map to search for resources nearest to a Neighbor's address/County/City and the map is searchable by category (food shelves, produce distributions, senior dining, community meals, etc.). With over 700 resources available to search for, we need to ensure that we are providing neighbors with the correct information that they are looking for.

What you'll do:

  • Research for resources for verification and updates, such research could be to conduct a web search, call and/or email the resource directly to determine if there has been a change to their contact information, hours, and/or services, etc.
  • Collaborate with the Neighbor Services Resource Advisor to accurately enter resource data for changes to the Resource Locator Map
  • Research new community resources to expand our catalog of available resources

What's in it for you:

  • Hands-on food insecurity experience at one of the largest Feeding America food banks
  • Networking opportunites & educational events
  • Resume builder

What you're committing to:

  • Weekly 3 hour shift for at least 6 months
  • Bringing a mindset of listening, learning, and growth to your professional development

About Second Harvest Heartland

Location:

Mission Statement

The mission of Second Harvest Heartland is to end hunger together. At Second Harvest Heartland, our volunteer partners do more than enrich our work, they ground us to our mission of ending hunger together. We integrate volunteers into all aspects of creating and delivering solutions that will free our neighbors of hunger.

Description

More than a food bank, Second Harvest Heartland is a leading partner in the policies and programs that work to end hunger, like SNAP, school meals and senior nutrition programs, and we’re an innovator in the areas where food can be the solution, like FOODRx and Kitchen Coalition.

Second Harvest Heartland is a member of Feeding America, a national network of more than 200 food banks serving every state in the United States. Membership means access to millions of pounds of surplus food and grocery donations from manufacturers and producers throughout the country.

Working with our network of partners, volunteers, donors, and advocates as well as people like you, our 90,000+ square feet of dry, refrigerator and freezer space is constantly accepting and distributing donations. Our fleet of trucks travels nearly half a million miles a year, picking up food donations and delivering them to local food shelves, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, senior community centers and children's after school programs. Each year we distributed more than 100 million meals to our partners in hunger-relief. Learn more at 2harvest.org.
