Job Description ABOUT CITY HARVEST: City Harvest is New York’s first and largest food rescue organization and a fast-paced, high-performing nonprofit dedicated to helping feed millions of New Yorkers who struggle to put meals on their tables. During our more than 40 years serving New Yorkers in need, we have rescued more than one billion pounds of fresh, nutritious food and delivered it free of charge to hundreds of food pantries, soup kitchens, community partners, and our own Mobile Markets across the five boroughs. This year, we will rescue and distribute more than 100 million pounds of nutritious food to our neighbors in need. City Harvest works alongside our community partners to boost community capacity, expand nutrition education, and strengthen local food systems. Since our founding in 1982, City Harvest has always been there to feed our city one day, one meal, and one New Yorker at a time while fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, accountability, and excellence to maximize our impact across New York City. JOB OVERVIEW / WHAT A TYPICAL DAY MIGHT LOOK LIKE: The City Harvest Dunn/Ramirez Food Policy Fellow supports City Harvest's Policy & Government Relations Department, playing a critical role in advancing our city, state, and federal policy priorities and advocacy campaigns on food waste, food rescue, and food security — including mobilizing advocacy volunteers, compiling materials for meetings with lawmakers, and helping develop compelling data and narratives for our campaigns. The fellowship honors two longtime City Harvest staff members we lost in 2020 and 2022, after each dedicated their careers to fighting hunger. Marlon Dunn was a union CDL truck driver who rescued hundreds of thousands of pounds of fresh produce from the Hunts Point Produce Market and delivered it to pantries across the five boroughs. Miguel Ramirez served as Financial Operations Coordinator, processing donations from City Harvest supporters; while there, he completed his MPA at Baruch College, with a thesis on how shifting from the Official Poverty Measure to the Self-Sufficiency Standard could strengthen government efforts to end hunger.
