Nourish: 2020 Strategic Plan

Our strategic plan, Nourish, identifies three goals that the Food Depository will strive toward in the next four years:

• Expanding access to nutritious food
• Partnering with and strengthening community-based responses to hunger and its root causes, and
• Inspiring and engaging our community to lift its collective voice to end hunger.

Expand Access to Nutritious Food

• Increase and expand the supply of nutritious food through our distribution channels.
• Connect eligible neighbors to the nutrition safety net.

Partner With and Strengthen Community-Based Responses to Hunger and its Root Causes

• Collaborate with a broad coalition of community partners to more effectively meet the food and nutrition needs of the men, women and children we serve.
• Build and implement a nutrition education strategy to support healthy food choices.
• Link food-insecure neighbors to tools for economic stability.

Inspire and Engage Our Community to Lift Its Collective Voice to End Hunger

• Raise awareness and engage stakeholders on the issue of hunger in our community.
• Advance an advocacy agenda to increase food access and protect the nutrition safety net and other programs critical for low-income individuals and families.
• Increase our impact in the community by being THE volunteer program of choice.
