• Handle budgets and ensure accurate cash and payment management.
• Coordinate community engagement initiatives, including cooking classes, gardening projects, recipe programs, and events.
• Manage the community space, including bookings and use for events.
• Liaise with local partners, funders, and suppliers to support and grow pantry initiatives.
