About Midwest Food Bank
Midwest Food Bank (MFB) is a non-denominational, faith-based nonprofit founded in 2003 in Bloomington, Illinois. Dedicated to alleviating hunger and malnutrition in the U.S. and internationally, MFB partners with over 2,200 nonprofit organizations—such as food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters—to distribute food at no cost. In 2022, MFB distributed food valued at over $415 million, much of it rescued from large manufacturers. The organization also supports disaster relief with rapid-response food boxes and produces "Tender Mercies," a nutritious, shelf-stable meal product. MFB operates with exceptional efficiency, directing 99% of donations to its programs and maintaining a four-star Charity Navigator rating since 2011.
MFB’s Pennsylvania division, launched in 2021 and based in Harrisburg, has grown rapidly, supporting over 150 nonprofit agencies and generating more than $1 million annually. As the organization prepares for its next phase—including facility expansion, geographic outreach, and increased fundraising—it seeks a mission-driven, people-centered Executive Director to lead this critical growth and deepen MFB’s impact across the state.
The Role
The Executive Director leads the Pennsylvania Division, and is responsible for advancing the mission through strategic leadership, operational oversight, and fundraising growth. Reporting to the national leadership team and working in close collaboration with a local advisory board, the Executive Director ensures the division operates effectively, efficiently, and in full alignment with MFB’s mission and values.
This is a high-impact, hands-on role for a humble, entrepreneurial, and people-centered leader who thrives in a dynamic and service-driven environment. The Executive Director will guide a passionate team of staff and volunteers, oversee food distribution programs, steward donor and community relationships, and manage compliance with nonprofit governance and financial requirements. As the public face of the division, the ED will cultivate strategic partnerships and lead with humility, integrity, and a commitment to serving others.
