Manager of Philanthropy and Engagement 
Full time, permanent position – 37.5 hours per week 

Fall 2025 Start Date 

Who are we? 

Food is not the solution to food insecurity, but people need support today. Knowing this, 
we collect and distribute more than three million kilograms of food annually to 139-
member food banks, meal programs, and shelters across the province. This equates to 
over $1 million worth of food each month. We also support member agencies as they build 
capacity to serve their communities, and partner with communities across Nova Scotia to 
explore innovative new solutions to food insecurity. While we help Nova Scotians meet a 
very basic need, we're raising awareness of the root causes of food insecurity - things like 
systemic racism, low wages, inadequate income support, and unaffordable housing. We 
believe all Nova Scotians deserve just, dignified, and secure access to food, and no one 
should have to rely on charity to meet their most basic needs.
