Vision & Mission
Ending hunger. Uplifting neighbors.
Vision:
We envision a time when neighbors living in our 15-village priority service region no longer suffer from hunger. A time when the causes of hunger have been confronted. A time when enough of us have come together to uplift all of us. A time when organizations like ours no longer need to exist.
Mission:
Our daily mission is to bring together all stakeholders involved: Our neighbors in need, volunteers, civic leaders, and donors. Together, we have begun to alleviate hunger in our region. Hunger that is often caused by life’s circumstances and occasions of food insecurity. And hunger that exists due to unfair social conditions and resulting food injustice.
We’re all neighbors here.
Our purpose
Our organization’s collective purpose is to help achieve two goals: 1) end hunger, and 2) end the causes of hunger/food insecurity across our 15-village region*.
* Hunger is what you feel when you don’t have enough to eat. Food insecurity is the set of circumstances that prevent your access to food.
Our founding values…
We believe in the importance of caring, volunteerism, and community.
Above all, we believe in protecting and uplifting the dignity of people. Our pantry’s vision and mission will always be guided by this north star.
