WE’RE HIRING
COMMUNITY IMPACT MANAGER
Project & Event Management / Direct Social Impact/ Communications External & Internal / Administration & Scheduling
The role:
This is a fast-paced, full-time, managerial role that will require active and intentional leadership. This very engaging position will have you working directly with community and focussing on food as a mechanism to feed, train, employ, advocate, and convene.
The right applicant will have the ability to balance multi-tier organization with real boots-on-the-ground and hands-on tools action where you’ll get to see, touch and feel the impact of your work while building relationships with the humans who benefit from it.
The DTES is one of the most interesting, diverse, loving, and creative communities in the world. It is also one of the most deeply maligned.
This position is critical to the success of our mission by coordinating, facilitating and reconciling the data and components of our various programs and being an essential part of the creative team that plans the logistics and execution of our fundraising campaigns, communication efforts and forward facing presence that allows us to grow and scale our impact.
It is perfect for the unique individual who is energized by seeing events and programs come to life and thrive and also excels in spreadsheets and data organization. It is a role for those who not only want to see change in the world but have their hands actively involved in that change.
PLENTY OF PLATES
AN EVENING OF COOKING, CARE AND CONNECTION
Every week, A Better Life Foundation invites neighbours from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside community for a free, 3-course sit-down dinner in the iconic Save On Meats building.
We call it Plenty of Plates (POP), a community meal hosted by volunteer teams who fund the event and prep, cook and serve 80 people a home-cooked, nutritious and delicious meal.
We encourage both local businesses and corporations to arrange to give back or match programs within their workforce! Donating a portion of proceeds from a specific day or rallying charitable gifts over a specific period of time are simple and meaningful ways to convene generosity for change. Over the years, we’ve worked alongside many wonderful companies who have matched funds to funds raised, funds to volunteer hours, and more!
Individual Ways to Support
It takes all of us to make real change, but creating access to a better life starts with you. Monthly giving is the easiest, most convenient way to sustain your impact as an individual that also creates stability, allowing us to plan and budget accordingly. When you subscribe to give monthly, the donation is made for you automatically – no logging in, no calendar reminder! A one-time donation or gift of goods, skills, or services are other low-barrier ways you can take action right now. Follow the link below to our donation form or get in touch to see how we can work together to support dignified food security.
Organizational Support
Activating generosity within our professional and personal networks is a powerful way to amplify impact and effect real, meaningful change for communities that need us. Consider leveraging your next special event like a birthday or workplace event to collect charitable gifts from friends and family in support of ABLF. When you do, we can set up a specialized donation link specifically for your event where friends, family, guests, or colleagues can donate privately online and in their own time. Contact us to set up your fundraising campaign and discuss tools and options available to support your fundraising efforts.
