Communications & Outreach Coordinator

ABOUT BELLINGHAM FOOD BANK

Bellingham Food Bank is Whatcom County’s largest hunger relief organization. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We provide free groceries in a dignified setting to 1 in 5 Bellingham households annually. Bellingham Food Bank is committed to becoming an anti-racist organization.

 VISION

We at Bellingham Food Bank envision a community with a thriving food system where everyone has equitable access to the food they need and want.

 MISSION

We reduce hunger by:

• creating access to high quality, desirable food and other essentials.
• building a responsive regional hunger relief network.
• disrupting racism, because of its historical and structural connection to hunger and poverty.

 VALUES

Quality & Choice: We offer a variety of high-quality foods, culturally relevant foods, and other essentials. We strive to create a welcoming, respectful, and dignified experience.

Justice & Equity: We believe hunger, poverty, and systemic racism are inextricably linked. Food justice is social justice.

Inclusion & Access: We actively work to remove barriers to food and essentials and to offer what is familiar and valued by our diverse community.

Responsiveness & Innovation: We are adaptive and curious. We listen, experiment, learn, and adjust as we seek ways to deepen our impact on both immediate needs and the root causes of hunger.

 ABOUT THE POSITION

This position is responsible for engaging the community about local hunger issues and inspiring potential advocates. The position manages the agency’s outreach, internal and external communications. We are deeply committed to advancing equity, internally within our team and externally across the region. One component of that is a goal to bring on team members who speak multiple languages, therefore candidates who are fluent in more than one language will be given preference.

ABOUT YOU

The best candidate will be highly organized and a strong communicator with diverse audiences. They will be creative and experienced with events, print and digital media. They will be passionate about helping members of our community and will believe that hunger is unacceptable.

Bellingham Food Bank’s staff is all fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and we will expect you to be fully vaccinated as well. Fully vaccinated means a person has received all recommended doses in their primary series of COVID-19 vaccine.
