Our mission is to feed the hungry by soliciting and judiciously distributing marketable surplus food to non-profit agencies, which serve the needy in a 33-county area of the tri-state. We monitor member agencies and assist them in the various programs they sponsor. We serve as the channel through which donors may be assured of good warehousing practices, equitable distribution, and accountability to the member agencies as well as to the needy. We educate the public about the nature of and the solutions to the problems of hunger. We encourage donors to practice the good stewardship of donating, not dumping, usable surplus food.
