Description
Our Outreach Center Programs department includes our food pantry, Volunteer Program, Bed Program, and seasonal programs. In this position, you will provide support for each of these areas, which will include a mix of direct service, volunteer support, and behind the scenes coordination. Specific projects will include providing beds to families in need through our Bed Program; coordinating our Christmas Together holiday program (matching sponsors with families in need); and facilitating our annual Fan and A/C distribution program. You will also serve in the Choice Food Pantry, which provides families and individuals free, monthly access to food, where the families are able to choose what they take home, within guidelines based on household size. Working in the Choice Pantry, you will have the opportunity to develop relationships with our neighbors in need and volunteers alike, work with food donations, and assist with key logistics for our annual Thanksgiving and Christmas Food Distributions. The versatility in the job makes each day a little different and fosters a wide array of managerial, professional and personal skills.
This position is part of the Vincentian Volunteers of Cincinnati (VVC) program, a faith-based, year-long, residential service program, providing young adults an opportunity to grow in faith, friendship and service by providing both direct and indirect service to our neighbors in need.
VVC members serve full-time in a unique work placement with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul - Cincinnati. They live together in a house provided by the program in the West End neighborhood of Cincinnati, blocks from SVDP’s Neyer Outreach Center. The program is an 11-month commitment, running late August through late July and provides members with excellent professional experience in a supportive context.
