Mission Statement

The Mission of The Global FoodBanking Network is to alleviate hunger.  We do this by supporting food banks and food bank networks where they exist, and by working collaboratively to create them in communities where they are needed.”

The Values of The Global FoodBanking Network include:

Respect – We believe that the culture, customs, and structures that groups build to reflect and sustain their lives constitute a framework for our involvement and a foundation for our progress.

Diversity – We serve the hungry of the world; they are of all nations and all types.  Our resources and solutions will be similarly diverse.

Stewardship – We are accountable for the resources entrusted us and committed to provide the most beneficial outcome possible for those we serve.

Integrity – We will be transparent, honest and accountable in all of our words and actions.

Collaboration – For our work to be most effective and sustainable, it must be collaborative. We will collaborate even when it is difficult to do so.

Service to Others – Our driving force is the desire to improve the lives of those who suffer from hunger.  We are in service to them and to other organizations and individuals that share our concern.
