Join our Board of Directors

We’re looking for Board Members to join
the Mobile Food Market Board of Directors! 

Located in Mi’kma’ki, the Mobile Food Market  brings healthy, affordable, high quality foods to Halifax Regional Municipality neighborhoods with limited access. We believe in healthy food, good prices and strong communities.  

Our Strategic Endgame 

In the current year, MFM has transformed into an independent Not-for-Profit organization, establishing a new operational hub in North Dartmouth. The growing disparity in mainstream food prices has exacerbated the needs of our community, prompting MFM to remain agile and responsive in addressing the evolving challenges faced by communities within HRM and beyond. We are actively engaged in forging new partnerships within both rural communities and HRM, with the aim of expanding our service offerings while sustaining our existing collaborations. Over the past two years, we've undergone significant changes, evolving the Mobile Food Market to a place that brings dignified food access to communities. We are committed to having a strong, diverse board of directors to help us further our mission. If you share our passion for enhancing food access, we encourage you to consider applying for a position on our board of directors. Your involvement would be greatly valued. 

We’re looking for new board members who are as passionate about food access and we hope you’ll consider applying if this speaks to you!

Commitment to Equity and Justice 

We are intentional in our recruitment approach and encourage applications from African Nova Scotians, those from Indigenous and Black communities, other racialized persons, the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and disabled persons. We will prioritize diversity in our selection process and encourage you to self-identify as a member of an equity-deserving group in your application.
