Description

Fulfill’s Network Engagement Team (NET) collaborates with nearly 300 partner agencies and programs to provide emergency food assistance across Monmouth and Ocean Counties. For communities without convenient access to a brick-and-mortar food pantry or community kitchen, Fulfill operates direct distribution programs, including a Mobile Pantry, Pop-the-Trunk (i.e., drive-through) distribution at its Neptune headquarters, and Senior Staples, a home-delivered food box program for seniors. Prompted by growth in direct distribution programming since the pandemic, this new role will coordinate with external partners and across internal departments to ensure Fulfill provides these services with a neighbor-centered approach that reflects industry best practices.
