Milton Program Coordinator

Do you want to be part of an organization that is helping to ensure children in Halton have access to healthy food on weekends throughout the school year? Are you passionate about building relationships, coordinating programs, and making a meaningful difference in your community? If so, this may be the opportunity you've been looking for!

The Milton Program Coordinator plays a key role in delivering Food4Kids Halton’s weekend food program within the Milton community. This position is responsible for coordinating program delivery, supporting school and family relationships, supporting volunteers, coordinating food package distribution, maintaining program records, and ensuring Milton children receive nutritious food packages consistently and with care.

Food4Kids Halton provides packages of healthy food to elementary school students with limited or no access to food each weekend and throughout the summer. Last year, we distributed more than 46,000 food packages to over 1,200 children at more than 100 schools across Burlington, Halton Hills, Milton, and Oakville. A typical Food4Kids bag contains breakfast, lunch, snacks, fresh fruits and vegetables, bread, and other ready-to-eat food for the weekend. Our work is made possible through strong partnerships with schools, volunteers, donors, suppliers, and community organizations.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about supporting children experiencing food insecurity.
