Client Interviewers enroll new guests in the Mid-Ohio Food Bank’s “Pantry Trak” system and help previous pantry visitors keep their information up to date. Required skills: some computer experience necessary (database training will be provided).
The Personal Shopper explains the choice system and helps guests shop for their favorite items. Required skills: willingness to work closely with customers and talk discuss our amazing selection of products. Great job for foodies!
