Todd Mission
Food Pantry
Food Pantry's play a crucial role in our communities by combating hunger and providing essential food to those in need. They help reduce food waste redistributing surplus food, ensuring it reaches those who require it most. Additionally, food pantry's build community resilience by offering a safety net for vulnerable populations. They support health by providing nutritious food and resources like education, while also helping families save money on groceries, them to allocate funds to other necessities.
Our Mission
What the Todd Mission Food Pantry means to the community:
-
Provide hunger relief: Our goal is to supply nutritious food to residents who need help, including children, the elderly, and working families who are struggling with food insecurity.
-
Reduce food waste: We collect and redistribute excess food that would otherwise be discarded, often due to "use-by" dates or cosmetic imperfections, ensuring it is used before it spoils.
-
Support community health: Access to balanced meals and nutritional education is crucial for low-income families who may not have regular access to fresh produce.
-
Build community and resilience: We foster a sense of solidarity and compassion, community resilience, especially during emergencies or crises.
-
Offer additional necessary items: We also provide a range of support services, including information on government benefits, assistance with other local charities, and even household items and hygiene products.
-
Boost the local economy: By helping families save money on food, we hope to free up household funds that can be spent in other local areas, which can, in turn, support local jobs and businesses.
