<div><strong>About Feeding America</strong><br>As the nation's largest nonprofit and domestic hunger-relief organization, Feeding America is at the forefront of the fight to end hunger. With an annual revenue of $5.15 billion (2023), which includes 4.7 billion pounds of donated food, Feeding America engages our country and communities in the fight to end hunger on an unprecedented scale, serving as a catalyst at both the national and local levels, reaching every county in the United States. The work is not just about providing meals. On the journey to achieving its mission, Feeding America addresses barriers so everyone can thrive.<br><br>Specifically, Feeding America’s work includes:<br>1. Addressing the immediate needs of people facing hunger through the sourcing and distribution of food.<br>2. Working to reduce rates of food insecurity through innovative programs that bundle food with other critical resources such as healthcare, housing, and economic mobility.<br>3. Catalyzing the movement to end hunger through policy advocacy and systems change.<br><br><strong>A People-Centered Approach</strong>: Through it all, Feeding America keeps the neighbors it serves at the center of its vision of a hunger-free America. Feeding America is deeply committed to meeting the unique nutritional and health needs of individuals and their communities by leveraging an approach that is people-centered, responsive, and adaptive.<br><br><strong>The Network</strong>: The organization is a nationwide network of over 200 food banks, which distribute food through 60,000 partner food pantries and meals programs. Together, the Feeding America network provides more than 5 billion meals to tens of millions of people across the United States and supports programs that improve food security for the families they serve.<br><br><strong>Rising Demand</strong>: In a country that wastes billions of pounds of food each year, it is shocking that almost anyone in America goes hungry. Yet, there are 44 million people who don’t have enough to eat – that is 1 in 7 individuals, and 44 million too many. Each year, more than 13 million children (that is 1 in 5) and 5.5 million seniors struggle with hunger.<br><br>In 2020, the COVID crisis devastated individuals and families and food insecurity grew. The average increase in the number of clients reported by food banks grew by an astounding 60%. Since then – driven by record inflation, historically high food costs, reduced federal assistance, and more – demand has continued to grow. Through it all, Feeding America and its partners have continued the march to solve hunger, moving quickly and decisively to implement multi-prong strategies that include new systems, distribution, and supply chain, and leveraging and expanding partnerships. <br><br><strong>Looking Ahead and the Critical Role of Technology in Feeding America's Next Chapter</strong>:<br>Feeding America has set the bold aspiration that by 2030 every community and person within it has access to the food and resources that they say they desire and need to thrive; that the food insecurity rate is 5% and disparities by race and place are cut in half.<br><br>As Feeding America embarks on its next chapter, the role of technology is poised to be more critical than ever. Leveraging advanced data analytics, artificial intelligence, and innovative digital platforms, the organization is exploring transformative ways to meet the rising demand for hunger relief. From optimizing supply chain logistics to predicting food insecurity trends and tailoring support for specific communities, technology offers an unparalleled opportunity to enhance efficiency, equity and accessibility in food distribution. By investing in cutting-edge tools and systems, Feeding America ensures that every resource is maximized to reach those in need swiftly and effectively.<br><br>In addition to addressing immediate needs, Feeding America recognizes the potential of technology to empower individuals and communities for long-term food security. By integrating digital solutions that connect neighbors with wraparound resources—such as housing, healthcare, and employment support—the organization is laying the groundwork for systemic change. As Feeding America deepens its commitment to innovation, it remains steadfast in its mission: to end hunger and create a future where every person can thrive.<br><br>For more information, please visit Feeding America’s website.<br><br><strong>The Opportunity</strong>&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>At this moment of challenge and tremendous opportunity, Feeding America is seeking an innovative, collaborative, dynamic, and deeply committed leader to serve as the Chief Information Officer (CIO).
