Organization Information

Mission Statement

We connect people to resources they need for healthy eating, self-care, and community building. We collaborate with our neighbors to grow, source, learn about, prepare, and provide access to food; to bring people together around healthy life choices; and to look ahead together at ways to promote a thriving, interconnected community in Schenectady County.

Description

These core values express the heart of our commitment to the work that we do. In the strategic planning implementation, we will refer to our core values as we make decisions and set priorities.

Breaking barriers: We look to expand access to resources beyond traditional limitations. We work to remove stigma. We are charting new ground.

Lightening burdens: We seek to lighten the loads that people carry as they manage responsibilities for health, family, food, and basic needs. In all of this we aim to open space for moments of joy and peace.

Fostering dignity: We operate with mutual respect at all times and look to examine our policies, procedures, and practices to ensure that we are seeking to uphold the dignity of all.

Listening, responding, and adjusting: We are attentive to the needs and desires of the community and actively seeking to respond in meaningful ways to what we hear. In our responsiveness, we are committed to recognizing when we need to course correct based on what we hear.
