Second Harvest Core Values

Over the past year, we have seen a 32% increase in food pantry visits. Our work and how we accomplish it has never been more critical to helping our communities thrive. With this in mind, the leadership team focused on defining our core values to help guide our next steps, shape our culture, and enhance our commitment to our mission. Our core values will be the lens we use to help guide us and our decisions moving forward.

FORWARD THINKING

We will meet people where they are. How can we innovate or partner to improve access?

GRIT AND PERSEVERANCE

We realize that change is constant. We will dig into hard problems and pivot when something isn’t working. But we will press forward.

AUTHENTIC

Trying new ways of doing things is a means of growth. We will ask questions, look at data and adjust for best outcomes, yet remain true to our core ideals.
