Advocacy is vital to our mission to end hunger for good. We have a full-time team of grassroots organizers who are working with our community to take action on issues that lead to food insecurity — like lack of affordable housing, barriers to a quality education, or low wages, to name a few. Join us as we advocate for a better world.

• We know a great place to advocate is on our plates. We developed a Food Purchasing Policy to help us make values-based decisions when sourcing good food for our community.

  We define good food as food that is delicious and nutritious, better for the Earth, and better for the people who produce it. Our food purchasing policy helps us live out our values and improve access to food that is minimally processed, uses less fossil fuels, and follows a shorter supply chain so we have a better understanding of where, how, and by who our food is grown. Foods labeled local or organic are more likely to adhere to these values.

• We stand strong in our values of Equity and Inclusion. Click here to read about our commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion here.
