Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Hunger and poverty will always be with us, and our goal is to create the most efficient system to address these needs in the lower Florida Keys.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Create efficiencies by utilizing primarily volunteers to deliver services as well as securing donated food that would otherwise go to waste through a organized system of food recovery.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Tremendous refrigeration and storage capacity as well as transportation capacity of large amounts of donated food seven days per week.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
With six refrigerated trucks on the road we secure tens of thousands of pounds of donated food each week. All of this food would've otherwise gone to waste even though it is still healthy and nutritious if consumed quickly.
