Assistant Pantry Manager
The Assistant Pantry Manager (APM) is critical to the success of that goal by enlisting and managing community involvement in the procurement of these foods—from individual gardeners to retail vendors to civic and religious groups. The APM assists with program assessment by evaluating the amount and nutritional content of food procured. In order to enhance consistent client access to nutritious food, the Assistant Pantry Manager supervises the volunteers who conduct food rescues, drives, and distributions. By combining outreach and volunteer management, the Assistant Pantry Manager helps volunteers be a part of the outreach process, thus further integrating volunteers into the service model.
