Mission Statement

At Hands of Mercy, our mission is to reduce food waste, alleviate hunger, and empower individuals and communities through food education. We are committed to collecting surplus food from supermarkets and sharing it with organizations and charities dedicated to serving those in need.

Through our innovative approach, we aim to not only provide nourishment but also equip individuals with the knowledge and skills to cook and manage their food resources effectively.

Purpose & Values

Reducing Food Waste:
We are dedicated to addressing the pressing issue of food waste by rescuing surplus food from supermarkets that would otherwise end up in landfills. By intercepting and redistributing this food to those in need, we minimize environmental impact and ensure that valuable resources are put to good use.

Alleviating Hunger:
Our primary purpose is to combat food insecurity in our communities. We collaborate with organizations and charities that serve vulnerable populations, such as the homeless, low-income families, and individuals facing food scarcity. By providing them with nutritious food, we contribute to their well-being and offer a lifeline in times of need.

Empowering Through Education:
Beyond food distribution, we believe in the power of education. We are committed to teaching people how to cook and manage their food resources efficiently. Our programs and initiatives empower individuals to make healthier food choices, reduce food costs, and build self-sufficiency.

Fostering Community Engagement:
We foster a sense of community and togetherness by bringing people together through food. Our activities and workshops create opportunities for volunteers, donors, and recipients to connect, share, and learn from one another.

Promoting Sustainability:
Hands of Mercy is dedicated to promoting sustainable practices in the food industry. By rescuing surplus food, we contribute to reducing the carbon footprint associated with food waste. We also advocate for responsible consumption and resource management.

Advocating for Change:
We work actively to raise awareness about food waste and hunger issues, advocating for systemic change and policy improvements. We believe that by addressing the root causes of food insecurity and waste, we can create a more equitable and sustainable food system.

In summary, Hands of Mercy is driven by a passionate commitment to combat food waste, hunger, and food insecurity while promoting education and sustainability. We envision a world where everyone has access to nutritious food and the knowledge to make the most of it, ultimately creating healthier, more resilient communities.
