We know that hunger is more than a single empty stomach or individual experience. Hunger is a community-wide symptom of not having enough — not having enough nutritious food, enough income, enough voice in the decisions that impact us. It’s a symptom of barriers to employment, education, housing and healthcare

We all experience the effects of hunger in our communities. And together we can build a future where everyone has access to the food and essential resources we need to thrive. Where every voice matters. Where we all share responsibility for each other and our common good. No matter where we live, where we’re from or the color of our skin.

Through our network of 700+ free food markets, pantries, meal sites and delivery programs, we work systemically to achieve this vision.

Together, we nourish people facing hunger with healthy, culturally familiar foods. We build solutions to reduce poverty throughout the region. And we empower our communities to address hunger at its roots through outreach, advocacy and organizing for long-term change.

Because no one should go hungry…no matter where we live, where we’re from, or the color of our skin.
