Procurement Associate

Share Food Program (“Share”) is the leading hunger relief organization in the Greater Philadelphia region and one of the largest independent food banks in the nation. Share feeds hundreds of thousands of individuals each month—more than half of whom are children and seniors. The ripple effects of the pandemic, record rates of inflation, and critical cuts to government assistance benefits have plunged even more people into hunger and poverty. Philadelphia has the highest rate of poverty of any major city in the U.S., and food insecurity is a public health crisis. Our network of caring volunteers, dedicated professionals, and generous donors works to bring nourishing food to our neighbors in need.

The Procurement Associate plays a key role in supporting the daily operations of the Share Food Rescue App, coordinating pickups of donated food between donor sites and partners receiving the food via volunteers assigned to transport the donations. In addition, the Procurement Associate assists the Procurement team by assisting in vetting and securing logistical support for donation offers direct to Share’s warehouses, new donor outreach, and coordinating with Marketing and Development staff on new donor opportunities.
