About Daily Table: Daily Table’s mission is to provide affordable nutrition to those most in need, helping to eliminate hunger and obesity in the US. Through an innovative not-for-profit retail grocery model, Daily Table addresses these challenges with a solution that is both financially sustainable and scalable. Led by Doug Rauch, former President of Trader Joe’s, Daily Table opened its first store in April 2015 in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston. With the recovery of excess, surplus food from supermarkets, growers and distributors, customers are offered a combination of fresh groceries, ready-to-cook meals, and grab’n’go meals prepared in an onsite kitchen and available at affordable prices. In January 2018, Daily Table will open a second store in Roxbury. In order to consistently supply our new store with product, we will need a new full-time driver.
