Our Mission & Values

Guided by compassion, respect, and honesty in everything we do

Our Vision

A community where everyone has access to nutritious food and no one goes hungry.

We envision Clearwater and surrounding districts as a place where food security is a reality for all residents, where compassion guides our actions, and where every person is treated with dignity and respect regardless of their circumstances.

Our Mission

To provide emergency food assistance and support to individuals and families in Clearwater and surrounding areas experiencing food insecurity.

We accomplish this mission through:

  • Collecting and distributing nutritious food to those in need
  • Building partnerships with local businesses, organizations, and community members
  • Operating with transparency and accountability as a registered charity
  • Creating a welcoming environment where everyone is treated with respect
  • Engaging volunteers and empowering them to make a difference

Our Core Values

These values guide every decision we make and every action we take.
