About Us
Mission
Our mission is to provide nutritious meals in a warm, safe, and caring environment, free of charge, no questions asked, to anyone who comes seeking nourishment. As part of our hospitality we also encourage and assist our guest in accessing community resources, services, and educational programs.
Values
Our core values are deeply rooted in our history as a ecumenical effort supported by local congregations:
- We believe in the inherent worth and value of each human being
- We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity regardless of age, sex, race, financial qualifications or religious beliefs.
- We believe everyone has a basic right to a healthy and nutritious meal and to enjoy it in a welcoming friendly environment.
- We recognize that everyone who comes through our doors has a unique history and belief system, and we value their contribution to our world.
- We strive to focus on our guests’ strengths and accomplishments in each interaction.
- We believe that everyone has the ability to change and that our role is to build relationships, offer options and encourage change, while also respecting everyone’s right to determine the course of their own lives.
