Vision, Mission and Values

The Board of Directors has just completed a Strategic Plan for MFN covering the three year period July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2008. A statement of Vision, Mission and Values was determined as was a first step, with subsequent planning expressing these guiding principles. We are quite pleased to offer our guiding principles in this opening article for your consideration. We hope you will concur with our sense of purpose and direction.
 

VISION

Our vision is to eliminate poverty-related hunger in our service area.

MISSION

Our mission is to relieve poverty-related hunger in our service area by distributing donated and purchased food and grocery products through a network of member churches and nonprofit organizations. We provide nutrition education to our needy clients. We also emphasize advocacy and related needs.

VALUES

In carrying out our mission, the work of the MFN revolves around a core set of values that provide the framework within which we declare commitments, operating principles and accountability.

Respect - We respect the inherent worth and dignity of every person and treat all with respect, equity and compassion.

Stewardship and Accountability - We keep faith with the public trust through the efficient, effective and compassionate use of resources entrusted to us and are mindful that our mission is accomplished through the generosity of others. We maintain and communicate accurate and timely information. We evaluate and account regularly for how our resources are used to implement and achieve our mission.

Collaboration - We believe in the power of mutual effort. We collaborate and build strong relationships with our agencies and the public. These are based on trust, with and among those who share our vision.

Urgency - We operate with an acute sense of urgency that reflects the immediate needs of those living in poverty. We challenge our employees, volunteers and agencies to embrace the same urgency to accomplish our shared vision.

Service - We believe service is fundamental. We strive to serve with excellence, fairness, compassion and responsiveness to meet the needs of those with whom we work.

Integrity - We will act with honesty, trust and openness and deliver on commitments. We will act within the spirit of agreements, contracts and the law. Our intentions and actions will be transparent and above reproach.
