At New Heights, we believe everyone deserves a seat at the table—with good food to put on it. The Community Food Network Manager plays a key role in making that happen. If you have a heart for service, an eye for a good sale, and a strong back (or know how to recruit one!), we’d love to have you on the team.

The manager reports directly to the CFN Director with line of sight to the Executive Director and New Heights CCDA’s initiatives.
