Do you have experience in Human Resources, Marketing and/or Public Relations, or Law?
Have you considered using these skills to help your Franklin neighbors?
How can you help?
Franklin is not immune from hunger. Real hunger. The kind where you don’t know where your next meal is coming from.
A variety of reasons bring people to the Franklin Food Pantry. A temporary job loss. Lingering financial hardship caused by the recession. Underemployment. A reduction in SNAP (food stamp) benefits.
This is an exciting time of growth for the Food Pantry. We have an amazing Executive Director, Erin Lynch, who has put together a dedicated team of part-time staff and volunteers. They are busy strengthening support and services for our Food Pantry clients while fostering new and exciting community partnerships.
The Food Pantry has an active Board of Directors who are fully committed to ensuring that Erin and her team have the resources and support they need. The Board Governance Committee is now developing a pool of interested individuals who are ready, willing, and able to help in this effort.
If you would like to learn more about what it means to volunteer for the Board, you can find the job description for a Board member here -> Food Pantry website.
We will accept interest forms submitted by seasoned professionals in the fields of Human Resources, Marketing and/or Public Relations, and Law on a continuous basis.
The Governance Committee will review the interest forms regularly and conduct follow up interviews with selected applicants.
Successful Board candidates will be brought onboard quarterly, or as needed.
Applicants will be notified of their status during the process.
If you have the skills, desire, and time to volunteer we ask that you express your interest by completing this form and following the instructions to submit it to Mary Gianakis
