Mission: To find and feed the hungry
Values:
- Simplicity and effectiveness. We invest our resources in simple, yet effective programs that align with our mission. We evaluate all we do and make adjustments based on what we learn.
- Respect and transparency. We respect and value the expertise of those with whom we collaborate in our shared work: our community profit partners, the individuals who lead them, and each other. We are transparent, among ourselves and with our partners, in how we accomplish our goals, make our decisions, and invest in the transformation of lives.
- Inclusion and diversity. We value the diverse perspective of our community and others who work in our areas of interest. We invite and encourage broad participation of all interested community members.
- Non-Judgement and dignity. We provide empathy to our community without judgement. We seek opportunities to restore and maintain dignity. We seek to transform lives through the "breaking of bread" and building relationships. We don't attempt to fix those who seem broken, rather we hope to lift them up when we are able.
- Enthusiasm. We encourage and nurture the public's passion for helping the homeless and financially insecure population by sharing enthusiasm and providing creative ways for them to partner with us to find and feed the hungry.
