If you envision a food system that is local, responsive to local customers, equitable, and sustainable, Nebraska Children and Families Foundation has a position that will enable you to take meaningful action toward bringing that food system into being.

The Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program (LFPA) is a federal investment designed to increase market access for socially disadvantaged farmers & producers and provide food to underserved communities experiencing high levels of food insecurity. Nebraska Children and Families Foundation, the sub-awardee for LFPA in Nebraska, seeks an Director to manage the program’s implementation. This position will lead the efforts to expand economic opportunities for socially disadvantaged farmers & producers while providing access to fresh, local, and healthy food in underserved communities across the state.

LFPA sits at the intersection of economic development and social services. As such, the Director of Food Security will work with individuals and organizations across the food supply chain – from Nebraskans who produce the food to organizations providing food pantry services that distribute the food to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. This position is ideal for the socially-minded entrepreneurial type who enjoys working with a broad range of stakeholders at a mission-driven foundation.
