Core Values
​
Addressed food insecurity in a creative way.
Designed signage that is artistic and playful.
Made food available for anyone who needed it.
No questions asked. No ID necessary.
​
Recovered perfectly great food that would be thrown into a dumpster at the end of the day.
Created more daily connections between people in our neighborhood. Created partnerships with local bakeries and food banks. Worked together to make sure that food was not being wasted.
​
Provided an easy way for our neighbors to share food, hygiene supplies, seeds + plants.
​
Established trust with users of the food pantry so they know the food that is in there, is safe and high quality food.
​
​
Hope is an embrace of the unknown. It’s the belief that what we do matters even though how and when it may matter, who and what it may impact, are not things you can know beforehand.
​
- Rebecca Solnit

​
Why did we start our own food bank?​
​
We believe that a free food bank is a radical way to share wealth and resources. It is an example of how Gift Economics actually works, in the real world.
​
Everything that is dropped off goes home with someone who needs it.
