OUR MISSION
At Willing Partners, our mission is to combat hunger, support children in crisis, and make every purchase affordable and impactful. Donated goods sold through our thrift store support our food bank which ensures that every purchase is a catalyst for positive change. Anchored in faith, and partnering with community organizations and grocery stores our program combats food insecurity for hungry individuals and families, while mitigating food waste. Additionally, we are dedicated to offering essential resources for children facing crisis situations and desire to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need.
OUR SUPPORT
We are supported by the generosity of our community, and provide many of our services through the sales from our Thrift Store. We accept in-kind, food, and monetary donations but receive no governmental funds except for commodities provided for the food bank through the USDA. We are guided by the values of compassion, integrity, quality and stewardship and truly value everything that is given us.
