Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin (FAEW) serves 36 counties in Wisconsin, helping to provide meals for nearly 400,000 people experiencing hunger each year. Volunteers work to ensure that food donated to FAEW is safe to distribute to FAEW's member agencies. Volunteers inspect, sort, package, and label various food items, which are then made available for FAEW's agencies to order and pick up. FAEW volunteers help to supply these agencies with millions of pounds of food each year.Volunteers will help to box products and sort fresh produce from local farmers which will help provide our hungry neighbors with nutritious food. Every day we receive donations of produce from grocery stores and farmers, and it needs to be sorted into mixed pallets. We also have volunteers help with sorting dry goods and frozen meat.

In 2016, Animal House Project donated 186,000 lbs of dry and 62,000 cans of wet food. as well as 500,000 lbs of dry food for 600 rescues in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic areas. That is a lot of food and now with new changes in IRS requirements we need to not only be able to effectively receive the food but give it a value as well. We need help with Logistics - receipt of donations from donors further from our area of operations; warehouse and inventory management. We already have a team of volunteers that works in this sphere but we need a Team Coordinator that has experience and may bring new ideas as to how to operate more efficiently.

Animal House Project has been operating a companion pet food pantry since 2010 but we seem to be missing a void by not being able to help home-bound seniors and the disabled who have pets and need to obtain food for them as well. For 2018, we would like to create a division within Animal House that addresses the needs of the home-bound by delivering pet food to those that need it. This is a grassroots idea but one that has been proven in other areas of Philadelphia.The coordinator would work with the Board and the President to find volunteers, food, grants as well as to work with the local Human Meals on Wheels Program managers to assess the need and to execute the program
