Hunger is a solvable problem
We believe that hunger, and all the related negative impacts, are a solvable problem. We believe that, in partnership with our community, we can work together to minimize the barriers that are keeping people in our community from accessing food, central among them being- financial, lack of transportation and health related diet restrictions. In partnership with our supporters we continue to focus on connecting hungry people in our community with the food they need to fuel flourishing lives.
