Community Food Advocates’ Mission:
To ensure all New Yorkers have access to healthy, affordable, culturally appropriate foods through equity-centered, high-impact public policy. We accomplish this through coalition building and organizing, backed by strong policy and budget analysis.
Our Commitment:
Community Food Advocates (CFA) is actively strengthening our organization’s anti-racist commitments. We are building a team that shares this organizational identity and represents racial diversity and inclusion. Diversity includes race and gender identity, age, disability status, sexual orientation, religion, country of origin, and other aspects of a person’s identity.
CFA believes in the strength of collective power. The best ideas come from a team with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences to solve problems and advance work through a variety of perspectives that maximize our impact. We dedicate space for anti-racist learning, conversations, and furthering initiatives that enrich our organization.
All CFA employees are responsible for creating an environment of inclusion and empowering everyone to be able to do their best work.
Women, people of color, members of impacted communities are strongly encouraged to apply.

NYS Good Food Purchasing Program Campaign Manager (click here for details)
Community Food Advocates (CFA) is a small but mighty policy, advocacy and organizing not-for-profit that fights for high-impact, far-reaching policy solutions to address poverty and hunger in New York City. We work to make the resources of government, at all levels, benefit people who are the most economically marginalized by promoting policies that strengthen and support the full utilization of publicly-funded food and income support programs.
We are looking for a proactive and collaborative individual to join our Good Food Purchasing Program (GFPP) Campaign team. GFPP focuses on 5 value areas: environmental sustainability; worker well-being; animal welfare; nutrition; and local economies to work toward transforming the local and regional food systems by changing the ways government agencies use their purchasing power. The Manager will work directly with the Director of the NY Good Food Purchasing Campaign to build support for Good Food Purchasing efforts in the NYS legislature and with municipalities throughout NYS.
