Executive Director
Company Intro
The Southeast Alaska Food Bank (SEAFB) is a small 503(c) non-profit organization focused on providing access to nutritious food for those who are without. We serve to bridge the gap by partnering with local non-profits (membership agencies), individuals, and families in need. This includes coordinating pick-ups from our local grocery stores and food suppliers then distributing this food on-site through our store front and weekly public food pantries.
We are currently building an on-site warehouse to expand our reach and our capacity to offer Federal food commodity grant programs. The need for food continues to rise in Southeast, impacting our residents and placing unnecessary strain on our communities. SEAFB builds partnerships to seek food security solutions that deliver operational and proactive results. Our Executive Director position is an opportunity to grow your career while giving back to the community.
