Packing Specialist

OverviewFoodFund was founded in 2017 with a vision to build a more inclusive, sustainable food system in Canada - one which left no food behind and no person hungry. By working directly with farms, greenhouses, and distributors, we have diverted over 5 million pounds of landfill-bound food and improved access within communities and underserved demographics. Having been recognized as Canada's most promising young start-up by TELUS in 2019, FoodFund has continued creating meaningful employment and challenged the notion of perfection in the food industry. By offering value to vendors for products that would otherwise go unsold, FoodFund reimagined commerce where consumers no longer had to sacrifice the good of the planet for the good of their wallet.

We are looking for folks who are positive, motivated, and a team player- Sounds like you? Perfect.
