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.

Every day she stops me in the hallway and asks,  "today is food?" When I remind her it is only on Fridays, she counts how many more days she has to wait.
