Meet the team

With our extensive knowledge of the food system, Eat Greater Des Moines staff know what works and what doesn’t.

We also know it’s time to make change by feeding more people with food that would otherwise be thrown away.

By focusing on pressure points in the system — and testing innovative solutions — we create extraordinary change without significant resources.

 

Join our team!

We do not currently have any open positions on our team.
However, if you would like to get involved there are plenty of volunteer opportunities available. Send us a note at info@eatgreaterdesmoines.org and we’ll be in touch.
