Inter-Faith Food Shuttle envisions a hunger free community. Our mission is to feed our neighbors, teach self-sufficiency, and grow healthy foods by cultivating innovative approaches to end hunger. As a Feeding America partner food bank, the Food Shuttle distributes over 13 million pounds of food per year, half of which is fresh produce. From Grocery Bags for Seniors, BackPack Buddies, and School Pantries; to Community Health Education and Mobile Markets; Catering and Culinary Job Training; and Community Gardening and a 16-Acre Farm; we go directly to the point of need to empower people and overcome the burden of hunger.
