Mission Statement
Warehouses4Good, a 501(c)3 logistics non-profit, is building a national network of one hundred food warehouses serving rural America, increasing the capacity and integrity of our food value chain. As a key contributor to philanthropic logistics, Warehouses4Good facilities will: - Significantly increase delivery of fresh food donations to rural food-insecure families, improving their nutrition, health, and well-being - Provide valuable support to rural food hubs, improving local economies, increasing supply to urban markets, and helping reduce food loss and waste - Make communities, and the nation, more resilient We believe that freedom from hunger is a basic human right. We understand food as the first medicine, that adequate nutrition is the prerequisite for growth and health. We believe in equitable access to the food value chain for all food producers and consumers.
Description
Warehouses4Good is working with local partners in communities across the country to build right-sized food warehouses with cold storage, processing, and distribution capabilities. Our mission is to develop food supply chain infrastructure that advances food security, access, equity, sovereignty, safety, and opportunity, making their communities, and the nation, more resilient. Our vision is to improve the health, well-being, standard of living, and economic opportunities for food producers and food-insecure families.
We’ve set our goal at 100 warehouses this decade. Combined, these facilities would have less space than one new Amazon fulfillment center, but would improve economies and feed the hungry in more than 500 of America’s most distressed rural counties.
Working with local leaders, Warehouses4Good helps plan, design, and build food warehouses meeting their needs. We assess local strengths, fill gaps with our program partners, and provide project management oversight to assure that projects are completed on time, within budget, and to specification.
