We’re Hiring! Common Cupboard Manager
Since 2006, Common Heart has been sparking a small revolution of kindness to eradicate food insecurity and help families break the cycle of generational poverty in Union County, NC and surrounding areas. Each month, we serve an average of 8,000 neighbors through 13 food pantries—and we’re not slowing down. But there’s one thing missing… YOU!

We’re looking for a Common Cupboard Manager—someone organized, energetic, and people-loving—to join our mission.

About the Role:
As the Common Cupboard Manager, you’ll be the heartbeat of our Indian Trail warehouse and delivery-based pantry operations. You’ll keep things running smoothly behind the scenes, from receiving and sorting donations to managing inventory, vehicles, and equipment. Just as importantly, you’ll lead, train, and inspire an amazing team of volunteers who are the hands and feet of our “friends helping friends” philosophy.

Your days might include:

✅ Welcoming and working alongside volunteers to sort, pack, and distribute food
✅ Driving our box truck or cargo van to pick up donations (no CDL required)
✅ Operating warehouse equipment (forklift, pallet jack—we’ll train you if needed!)
✅ Keeping the warehouse clean, safe, and well-organized
✅ Collaborating with other staff to ensure food is collected, stored, and distributed safely
✅ Supporting special events like our annual Great Turkey Countdown

This could be the perfect role for you if you:

Love working with people and building strong volunteer relationships
Enjoy organizing spaces and making systems run efficiently
Don’t mind rolling up your sleeves and lifting up to 60 lbs when needed
Have a valid driver’s license and can safely drive large vehicles
Want to be part of a grassroots team making a real difference every day

Schedule: Full-time (30 hours/week) Tuesday through Saturday

Ready to join a team where kindness is at the center of everything we do? Learn more about us at CommonHeart.org, and apply today to help keep the revolution of kindness rolling!

Alignment with Common Heart’s Core Values: You embody Intentional Kindness, Active Engagement, Initiative, Collaboration, and Servant Leadership in your work and interactions.
Strong communication, organizational, and leadership skills: You’re comfortable giving direction, sharing information clearly, and building positive relationships with volunteers, donors, and team members
Problem-solving skills and initiative: You can think on your feet, tackle challenges creatively, and keep operations running smoothly even on busy days.
Detail-oriented and safety-focused: You keep records accurate, spaces organized, and safety top of mind in a warehouse setting.
Comfortable working in a physical environment: Able to lift and carry up to 60 lbs, and operate (or learn to operate) equipment like forklifts, pallet jacks, and a box truck.
Minimum of a High School Diploma or equivalent required. Additional vocational training or coursework in logistics, warehouse management, or nonprofit operations is a plus.
At least 5 years of verifiable work experience, ideally in a role involving warehouse operations, logistics, inventory management, or volunteer coordination. Experience in a nonprofit setting is a plus.
