Equity, Principles, and Values

We are committed to Fighting Hunger. We believe that there is a direct correlation between food insecurity and systemic injustices, such as racism, classism, and sexism, which create and support conditions that sustain poverty and hunger in our community. Due to this, it is particularly important to our organization that we actively promote equitable, inclusive, and diverse teams and employees. By doing so, we are better able to understand and make a positive impact on those in need and those we serve. Immense value can be found in respecting diverse backgrounds, stories, and experiences.

 

Mission: Working together to provide pathways to end hunger in our community.

Vision: A nourished community where everyone can thrive.

Values

Belonging

Innovation

We are curious problem-solvers. We challenge assumptions, collaborate, and pursue excellence through continuous learning, improvement and reflection.

Respect

Safety

We prioritize safety in all its forms; food related as well as environmental, psychological, and physical. It is a core consideration in our processes, programs, decisions – every facet of our work.
