No Means Testing
No Means Testing
We don't ask questions before we help. You don't need to prove you're struggling, explain your situation, or qualify for support. If you need food, you're welcome to take it. If you need help, we're here. No forms, no judgment, no hoops.
This applies to our Little Free Pantries, direct deliveries, and all CMA programs. Everyone is welcome.
Privacy & Confidentiality
Privacy & Confidentiality
What you share with us stays with us. We will never share the name, address, story, or circumstances of any neighbor we serve, not on social media, not in group chats, not in conversation.
When we talk about our work publicly, we keep it general: "We delivered food to families across the valley" is enough. Specific details about specific people are never shared without their clear permission.
Grant Fund Stewardship
Grant Fund Stewardship
When we receive grant funding, we use it for exactly what we said we would. The funds are tracked separately, spent according to the approved budget, and reported on honestly.
If something changes, costs shift, a plan needs adjusting, we communicate with our funders proactively rather than quietly doing something different. We don't spend grant money on unrelated expenses, and we don't let funds sit unused without explanation.
Accepting a grant is a commitment. We treat it like one.
