The Maryland Food Collective is in search of new worker-owners to perform kitchen and administrative work at our campus sandwich shop.

Starting Wage: $11.50/hour
The Maryland Food Collective aspires to be an inclusive and liberatory organization. We value having a diversity of life experiences and perspectives on our team.
