Mission & Values
OUR MISSION
To provide packages of healthy food for elementary school students with little or no access to food during school weekends and to help their families with grocery gift cards when schools are closed..
OUR VISION
While we recognize we cannot eliminate poverty or hunger in Guelph, we can ensure that any child sustaining entire weekends without food, will be fed.
OUR VALUES
Child-centred
The well-being of children is our focus. We ensure accessibility and inclusiveness, while working for the elimination of food insecurity.
Collaborative
We engage and share with our community without bias or prejudice. Collaboration allows us to be resourceful, creatively leveraging our partners to improve effectiveness.
Caring
We practice compassionate caring in our concern for others and our respectfulness in word and deed.
Accountable
The children we serve, and the greater community we work alongside, can count on us to deliver our program with integrity and accountability.
Outcome-focused
The impact we make on outcomes for children today, matters as much as the ensured sustainability of our program.
