A Message From Ripley Spatafora
Sometimes the wait from lunch to dinner can be agonizing. Imagine waiting that x2 every day of the week. Imagine the struggle of worrying how to put food on the table every day. This is why we need to help bring food to peoples families, to help our community.
In Support of Food Gatherers
Our Mission: Food Gatherers exists to alleviate hunger and eliminate its causes in our community.
We rescue local food and leverage state and national food resources for hunger relief. We lead a network of hunger relief providers and engage the public in the fight against hunger. We create and sustain innovative new food programs in response to emerging needs. We recognize that hunger will not be solved through the provision of food alone, so we advocate for policies and system changes to create an equitable food system.
