Social Media, Marketing, Donor Development Coordinator 

Join the Feed Iowa First Team! Feed Iowa First oversees approximately 20+ Urban Farm sites at any one time throughout the season in the Linn County area, as well as the safe aggregation of produce donations from rural farm partners, Equitable Land Access Farmers, and backyard gardeners. The food grown is distributed directly to food-insecure neighborhoods, local food pantries, and social service agencies at no cost, no questions asked.  

The Social Media, Marketing, and Donor Development Coordinator will create a marketing plan to increase awareness, generate program visibility, secure funding, and build long-term partnerships. Create and maintain a social media presence that is unified across all platforms and targeted to specific audiences to encourage community members to: connect with clients we serve, actively engage in food insecurity work, raise awareness about social issues and hunger in our community, and gain support. At the end of the term, the VISTA member will have generated a social media system that is integrated with marketing that will help Feed Iowa First meet the growing food access needs in the community.
