Vision

With each act of care, we move closer to a community free from food insecurity — where everyone has access to healthy, nourishing food.

Goals

1. 1.Launch a Health & Wellness Initiative, in which we work creatively and nimbly with our 2,505 clients to ensure that they have healthy food options, learn about nutrition and disease reduction through diet, and understand how to prepare food in a healthy way, plus establish a more robust engagement with the health care community.
2. 2.Building on our first-year success, with Montgomery County’s commitment to fund the program through 2027, we will deepen culturally responsive food offerings sourced via ethnic grocery stores across all of our 12 distribution sites. We'll also begin working with a local farmer to grow culturally appropriate vegetables for us.
3. 3.We are close to outgrowing our current rental situation, so a task force is currently examining relocation options. We hope to increase our capacity to receive, sort, and store both shelf-stable and perishable food donations, ultimately increasing the number of clients we can serve. We also hope to host cooking demonstrations for new our health & wellness initiative in a space with a kitchen.
