The Full Cupboard is looking for dynamic champions to lead their branch and department team members to raise food, funds and awareness so that no Island child goes hungry in our communities. The Full Cupboard is Island Savings’ signature cause program. All food and funds raised are donated to the local food bank in the community where it's collected. For many years we've been building a bubble around at-risk kids through our GIFT program. The launch of The Full Cupboard takes our community investment a step further. We're extending our support to local food banks to ensure islanders needing some extra, immediate help have access to food resources. We are setting ourselves a 3 year goal to raise funds to serve the equivalent of 650,000 meals! That is the equivalent of approximately $73,000 fundraised annually.
This unique volunteer position provides Champions with the opportunity to develop leadership skills, explore their creative calling and build exciting relationships with business and nonprofit agencies in your own community. You’ll be supported by Community Investment and your colleagues throughout Island Savings. Full Cupboard Champions will
