For over 20 years, City Fresh has been more than a farm box program. We’ve been warriors in the fight for food equity, environmental resilience, and community power. We’ve delivered nearly 200,000 pounds of locally grown fruits and veggies to neighborhoods that deserve fresh, nourishing food.
But here’s the truth: good intentions aren’t enough to keep this work going. Real change requires fierce commitment, strategic thinking, and people who understand that every decision makes ripples through our communities and our planet. And we’re looking for a new board member who gets it.
Are you our person?
You don’t need to have a lot of board experience, but you do need to be passionate about:
- Fighting for food justice because you know food should be easily accessible to everyone
- Small nonprofit scrappiness (you know how to do more with less and make every action count)
- Communication that moves people because change happens when we tell stories that make people feel, think, and do
- Data, dollars, or dirt. Whether you speak spreadsheets, fundraising, nutrition and food security, environmental stewardship, or grassroots organizing
- Supporting farmers as true partners and you understand that paying fair prices for nutritious, sustainably grown food isn’t charity, it’s how we build a stronger food system
This isn’t about showing up to rubber-stamp decisions. We need someone who will:
- Dig in to do the work that makes change possible
- Challenge us when we can do better
- Champion our farmers who deserve fair pay, not charity
- Stand with communities facing food insecurity
- Think strategically about our next 20 years
- Commit to 2 years, monthly virtual board meetings, 2 annual in person retreats, committee work, and an annual give-or-get (because we all have skin in the game!)

We especially encourage applications from people whose communities have faced historic food and land access barriers. Your lived experience isn’t just welcomed—it’s essential.
