WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

When someone reaches out for help, you will be the voice they hear, and that moment matters. Every call is a chance to uplift a family, answer questions with kindness, and offer encouragement without judgment. This role is more than a job, it is a chance to build trust, create clarity, and ensure that every person feels seen and supported. You will be a champion for care, helping individuals navigate access to food and health-related resources with warmth, respect, and dignity.

POSITION SUMMARY

Client Experience Support Agents are essential to the care and connection that defines the Full Cart Program. In this role, you will provide warm, respectful phone-based support to individuals and families navigating food access and health-related resources.
