The Board of Trustees of Dixie Care and Share in St. George, Utah is looking for a new Director for the organization

Dixie Care and Share is dedicated to offering a hand to the less fortunate in Southern Utah by helping them obtain the basic necessities of food and shelter in times of personal crisis, while providing a source for finding information and other services needed from the community.

The objective of Dixie Care and Share is to work in partnership with community organizations to:

A. Provide temporary short-term shelter and transitional housing for people in need.
B. Distribute USDA government commodities according to established guidelines.
C. Distribute donated food to those in need (almost 3M lbs this year).
D. Provide prepared meals for residents of the shelter (with 51 often full beds).
E. Provide information for other resources to those who need additional services.

The Director will be the Chief Operations Officer of Dixie Care and Share. As such he will conduct all required business transactions, be responsible for all day-to-day operations of the Care and Share facilities, and create and manage the budget.

The Director acts as the Human Resources Director for all paid and volunteer personnel and will be ultimately responsible for hiring and discharging all personnel as needed. Currently the Care and Share has 19 full and part time employees in administration, shelter management, food bank, and food pantry operations.

The Director acts as the Development Director, and will be responsible for public relations, operational and capital fund raising; and act as liaison with the State, County and City entities as well as local community and private agencies.

The Director follows the policies and direction of the Board of Trustees and will be diligent in reporting all activities concerning the operation of the Care and Share directly to the Board.
