Our Mission

We are an interfaith organization that exists to bolster whole-life stability for neighbors by advocating for their nourishment, health, and success.

Our Vision

As persons of many faiths, we are united by our call to care for the holistic well-being of our neighbors, which begins with relieving food insecurity, nourishing the hungry, and cultivating health and hope.

As residents of the greater Elgin area, we commit to truly knowing our neighbors and inviting our neighbors to be truly known.

As members of a community, we advocate for the whole-life stability of our neighbors, knowing that we are all only as successful as each other.

As inhabitants of this planet, we conduct our work in ways that protect our environment for the sake of the health of neighbors around the world and neighbors yet to come.

As an interfaith cooperative, we welcome all our neighbors from all backgrounds and walks of life to this table.
