Our MISSION & VISION
Our Vision is simple--We want to change the way we feed the hungry.
OUR Mission
Provide fresh fruits and vegetables to homeless shelters, soup kitchens, senior centers, and food banks in Dauphin and Lebanon Counties, and
Encourage at-risk children and their families to make healthier food choices, increasing their access to fresh, local food and teaching them to live more sustainably.
OUR BELIEF
Poverty should never be an obstacle to eating fresh fruits and vegetables.
How we address immediate needs
We buy fresh fruit and vegetables, local when possible or donated from local gardeners--and distribute that produce free to soup kitchens, shelters, food pantries, and senior centers.
How we work on long-term solutions to the conditions that perpetuate poverty
Good nutrition is a necessary, though not sufficient, condition for attaining and maintaining good health. Good health is a necessary condition for being able to work gainfully, particularly in the manual occupations in which people living in multi-generational poverty are most likely--but not necessarily--are able to find employment.
We commit ourselves to developing and conducting educational programs for families and children to actively engage them in generating enthusiasm about eating local, fresh food and living sustainably.
