Our mission is to inspire hope in our communities by providing food to nourish Delawareans, while collaborating on long-term solutions to hunger and poverty.

We distribute millions of pounds of food each year to the community through on-site food pantries, mobile food pantries and a network of hunger-relief partners throughout the state. Our five-acre farm in Newark provides a supply of fresh local produce for members of the community. In addition to immediate food assistance, we also provide hope for a better tomorrow through our workforce and community development programming. We offer job training in the areas of food service and warehousing/logistics, nutrition education, financial coaching through Stand By Me and benefits outreach.
