Ten staff, volunteer, and community members take a silly photo with huge smiles in a photobooth with a background that reads "Food for all. Hunger for none."

Our Team

We are committed to and passionate about ending hunger at its root. We guide ourselves by seven core values:

  • Pursue Equity
  • Champion the Mission
  • Rise Together
  • Find the Joy
  • Own It
  • Are Brave
  • Think Outside the Box
