Foundation for Essential Needs (FFEN) plays a unique role in the hunger-relief system, transforming food shelf spaces and operations to meet the evolving needs of each local community. FFEN strengthens food shelves from the inside out, building up their operating capacity through custom solutions that amplify their reach and enhance their services.
The organization is seeking two FFEN champions to join our Board of Directors to provide leadership, fresh perspective and energy for the course ahead. As an organization, we believe that it is critical to our success going forward that our board includes a broad set of perspectives and experiences to influence our future. Board candidates should care deeply for equitable food access in the state of Minnesota and leveraging volunteer expertise to support local food shelves. In addition to a commitment to FFEN’s mission and vision, we are prioritizing the following to complement our current composition:
Perspectives, Experiences, Connections:
- Residents of and/or close connections to Greater Minnesota
- Individuals who identify as Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC)
- Individuals with previous experience on nonprofit boards
- Individuals with lived experience accessing free food resources
