🧐Here's a sneak peek of our latest video interview with New Life Program resident Troy. Video coming soon...

Last week, three from our leadership team attended the "All For Love" Annual Conference & Exposition hosted by Citygate Network. What an amazing experience! We were privileged to meet and learn from dozens of leaders from some of the country's leading rescue missions.

What a rejuvenating and motivating week! We're excited for the future of not only Fairhaven, but also the impact we will all collectively make on fighting homelessness as a united nation!

Thank you Kenton County Rotary Club for your support of Fairhaven Rescue Mission! We are grateful for your passion for serving those less fortunate in Kenton County - it takes all of us working together to fight addiction and homelessness!

👋Meet Ron, one of our New Life Program residents! We're grateful for him, his love for Jesus, and his desire to grow!

👇In his own words:

“The program is teaching me how to grow, how to communicate with others, how to love others. And every journey I make is for Jesus, because He had made it for me."

🫂Truly SEEING someone - acknowledging them as fellow humans worthy of love, dignity, and respect - and letting them know they are SEEN is an act of kindness. An act of meaning. An act of Love.

Acknowledge our neighbors right here in NKY who need our help, who need us to show them the love of Jesus.

Job Description:

Kitchen & Care Coordinator

About Us

Fairhaven Rescue Mission is a nonprofit, nondenominational Christian ministry, men's homeless shelter, and men's homelessness recovery program committed to meeting the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of the hurting and homeless population of the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati communities. Our mission is to Change Lives through the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Summary

The Coordinator is a highly administrative and organizational role responsible for managing food services and on the ground program responsibilities. The right candidate is far more skilled at meal planning, rather than meal preparation. Rather than functioning as a chef or solely executing tasks, this individual is a master delegator who helps build systems, oversees volunteer teams, and ensures seamless operations.

Roughly half of this role is dedicated to administering food logistics—including coordinating donation intake, managing inventory, and overseeing the reheating and serving of meals. The remaining time is focused on coaching and discipleship for residents in our Men’s New Life Program (NLP).

This is a full-time, non-exempt position. Schedule is M-F 10a-6:30p

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

A. Logistics Administration & Food Operations (Approx. 20 hours/week)

• System Management: Administer the inventory, storage, and rotation systems for all food and related supplies to minimize waste.
• Donation Coordination: Orchestrate the recovery of donated food by scheduling, tracking, and receiving Gifts-in-Kind (GIK) donations from local grocers, restaurants, Food Banks, and partner organizations. In some cases you’d redistribute donations we can’t use to other organizations.
• Data & Compliance: Ensure all received donations are accurately weighed, tagged, logged, and tracked (including GIK receipts) according to internal procedures. Ensure strict compliance with all Kenton County health codes, sanitation standards, and Mission food-safety standards.
• Delegation: Oversee and delegate the safe reheating, preparation, and serving of donated and catered food, ensuring meals are nutritionally balanced without needing to act as a primary cook. Report facility and equipment maintenance needs.

B. Program Coach & Discipleship (Approx. 20 hours/week)

• Case Management Support: Manage accurate data entry, maintain resident files, and track the progress of men enrolled in the New Life Program (NLP). Ideally, this candidate would help us launch similar activities for shelter guests.
• Operational Oversight: Orchestrate day-to-day NLP tasks, ensuring residents are efficiently scheduled for and completing assigned chores and program activities.
• Pastoral Care: Provide ongoing discipleship, mentorship, and relational support for residents navigating the program.

C. Volunteer Leadership & Delegation

• Recruitment & Scheduling: Actively recruit, schedule, and supervise kitchen volunteers and program residents to handle the day-to-day ex*****on of food preparation and service.
• Program Development: Develop volunteer service descriptions and create opportunities that fit ministry needs while ensuring volunteers have a positive experience.
• Training & Empowerment: Provide instruction to volunteers on food safety and operational workflows, empowering them to run daily tasks independently while communicating clearly and thoughtfully.

Minimum Qualifications

• A believer and committed follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, active in a local church, who aligns with the mission's values.
• High school diploma, GED, or equivalent education.
• Valid Driver’s License & Clean Driving Record
• Exceptional organizational and administrative skills, with a proven ability to juggle multiple overlapping projects, manage data, and build efficient workflows.
• Strong leadership capabilities with a focus on delegation, equipping others, and managing volunteer teams.
• Ability to teach and motivate others, communicating clearly and thoughtfully with volunteers and clients.
• Must possess or be able to obtain a Food Handler's Permit valid in Kentucky.

🪒We go through most of these items every single day. When we provide dinner and showers, we want to make sure each interaction is full of dignity and respect, as the people we are caring for are our fellow human beings who have stumbled into difficult circumstances - many times out of their control.

💙Thank you for helping us provide this dignity and care!
