ORGANIZATION
Our Mission: White Pony Express (WPE) is a 501(c)(3) organization that facilitates the recovery and distribution of healthy, perishable food, along with new and like new clothing, toys, and books. WPE works efficiently with our community partners to eliminate hunger and poverty in Contra Costa County.
We solicit and rescue the local abundance around us and redistribute it to those of us in need.
The only way that we've served over 70,000 people in 5 years is by the support of our dedicated volunteers, many who have been with us since day 1.
Our volunteers don't quit. Every day, 364 days a year, we deliver 5,000 meals to more than 70 partner organizations serving the greater community. And this is a necessary community effort considering that in the last 2 years, homelessness shot up in Contra Costa County by 47%. And the greatest growth is among children and seniors.
Can you help us throw the 400+ volunteers that make this magic happen a party they won't forget?
The event will take place friday, 9/27 in the evening.
The venue is pending, but will be an indoor/outdoor venue, catered, most likely Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill or surrounding area.
we expect at least 250 guests
Please reach Danie Belfield at danie@whiteponyexpress.org and let us know how you could best support the event, skills, experience, etc.
We gladly welcome product donations as well! :)
Thank you!

Mission Statement
MISSION Our mission is to help eliminate hunger and poverty by delivering the abundance all around us to those in need--with love. GUIDING PRINCIPLE: UNITY We honor the essential unity of all by embracing and serving all those in need. OUR VISION We draw on the generous nature of our community members. In consequence a shared consciousness is born, in which it is natural for us to help one another. When that shared consciousness becomes widespread, there will be no more hunger and no more poverty.
Description
At White Pony Express, we rescue fresh surplus food from supermarkets, restaurants, and farmers’ markets and deliver it free of charge to organizations that feed the hungry. We also collect and distribute high-quality clothing, children's toys, and books.
We were founded by Dr. Carol Weyland Conner in 2013. Dr. Conner conceived this model as an excellent way to help eliminate hunger and poverty by delivering the abundance all around us to our neighbors in need. From our first day, Dr. Conner has stressed that more important than the food and clothing we deliver is the love we give. Love is at the heart of a family, and we are one family.
Beyond our goal of helping others, WPE aims to create opportunities for selfless service. Hundreds of volunteers make White Pony Express possible. They volunteer with us because they believe in our mission. They know they are helping others who have urgent needs at this time in their lives.
