Program Manager/Registered Dietitian, Food and Nutrition Services

Who We Are: CAMBA is a community of staff, volunteers, clients, donors, neighbors and partners who work together to build an inclusive New York City, where all children and adults have access to the resources and supports, they need to thrive.  We take a comprehensive approach by offering more than 180 integrated programs in: Education & Youth Development, Family Support, Job Training & Employment Support Services, Health, Housing, and Legal Services. We reach almost 80,000 individuals and families, including almost 13,000 youth. CAMBA serves a diverse cross section of New Yorkers from new mothers in Brownsville to job seekers in the Rockaways. More than half of our clients are immigrants and refugees from around the globe. Over 85% of our families are living in poverty, reflecting the challenges faced by nearly 1.7 million New Yorkers today.

CAMBA’s Food and Nutrition contract, funded by Ryan White Part A, will provide inclusive and culturally mindful food services that include Congregate Meals, Self-Selected Food Pantry Bags, Food Vouchers, Cooking Demonstrations, Nutrition Groups and one-on-one nutritional services to 250 HIV positive individuals and their minor children who are residents of NYC and who meet the financial eligibility. The program is closely aligned with research provided by Food is Medicine. All enrolled clients will meet with our Registered Dietitians and Nutritionists for an Assessment and the completion of a Comprehensive Treatment Plan to address their food and/or nutritional needs. Clients identified as having special nutritional needs will receive appropriate services including Individual Nutritional Counseling and Group Nutritional Education. Through nutritional counseling, cooking demonstrations, and community nutrition education groups, clients will learn about meeting their own unique nutritional needs and ensuring proper nutrition and diet while managing co-morbid conditions and treatment adherence. In counseling sessions, clients will set nutritional goals and make specific plans to achieve them. The program staff will ensure that clients are connected and remain in HIV Primary Care to continue receiving services under this contract.
