We believe that everyone deserves access to quality, nutritious food. This means opening our doors to people across a wide spectrum of identities and lived experiences, without judgement.
We are committed to our clients. This means delivering consistent and quality food programming, while also building relationships of care, respect, and compassion with our community members.
We aim to meet clients where they are at, and to remove barriers to accessing food wherever possible.
