Programs Intern

Feed More collects, prepares and distributes food to neighbors in need. With a service area that stretches across 34 cities and counties, our comprehensive programs and Agency Network are dedicated to providing our communities with access to quality food and healthy meals year round.

With the help of over 100 employees, close to 300 members of Feed More’s Agency Network and around 200 volunteers a day, Feed More is able to carry out its mission of fighting hunger throughout Central Virginia. Feed More is a proud member of Feeding America and Meals on Wheels America.

At Feed More, we want everyone to have a seat at the table. We envision our table as a lively gathering of wonderfully, unique individuals where differences are encouraged and appreciated. And, of course, our table is full of good, nutritious food.

Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policy is both the right thing to do, and a compelling business rationale. Feed More recognizes its talented and diverse workforce as a key competitive advantage and our business success reflects the quality and skill of our people. That’s why Feed More is committed to seeking out and retaining the finest talent.

We’re in search of an enthusiastic, mission-driven, and hard-working individual to join our Programs team this summer. The ideal candidate is curious, analytical, adaptable, and eager to learn how large-scale community food and resource systems operate. This individual should demonstrate critical thinking, strong organizational skills, and a team-oriented mindset.

• Identify operational bottlenecks, duplications, or opportunities for efficiency.
• Prepare short summaries, presentations, or one-page briefs for program leadership.

• Further develop Programs’ SharePoint folder and filing system.

Documentation & Knowledge Support

• Capture “how things actually work” documentation across evolving programs.
• Support consistency and clarity in program tools and materials.

Special Projects

• Participate in short-term projects aligned with organizational priorities.
• Conduct basic peer or best-practice research as assigned.
• Support pilot initiatives with background research and documentation.

Learning Opportunities

• Understanding of how nonprofit food access and resource navigation systems operate at scale.
• Experience working with senior leadership on real operational and strategic projects.
• Development of professional skills in analysis, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration.

Note: This position does not include direct client service. The focus is on system support, analysis, and improvement.

The right candidate will be excited to learn about hunger relief, community health, and nonprofit operations at scale. This individual should be flexible, resourceful, and comfortable working in a dynamic environment with evolving priorities.

Candidates should be or have:

• Graduate student in public health, social work, nonprofit management, public policy, data analytics, business, or a related field.
• Strong critical thinking, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Comfort working with data, documents, and process-oriented tasks.
