Food Programs
Mission Statement
E.W. Food Programs was founded in 1982 as a small pantry and soup kitchen that has grown to include a client choice food pantry, movie night-soup kitchen, street outreach mobile soup kitchen and a fellowship program. We offer much more than physical sustenance; we offer guidance during periods of individual hardship and neighborhood instability as well as the education to develop a healthier diet. Through peer-based, women of color leadership, our programs seek to establish meaningful, long-lasting impacts with our clients through opportunities for networking, community service, and leadership development.
