Bountiful Basket Food Shelf

New Logo, Mission, Vision & Value Statements

We’re thrilled to announce some exciting updates at Bountiful Basket, including our new logo, refreshed mission, vision, and values, and the launch of a strategic plan designed to propel us into the future. The significant growth of our food shelf in recent years, along with the increasing demand for food assistance, has underscored the importance of understanding and meeting the evolving needs of our community. The rise in food insecurity across our county, state, and country is unprecedented. Just this past July, we provided 1,490 food services in a single month—a sharp increase from 434 services just two years ago! Food insecurity often signals other critical challenges in a person’s life, such as job loss, underemployment, mental health issues, illness, divorce, and more.  

Our work is far from complete if we only address hunger. That's why our new strategic plan includes expanding our services to better support our clients. Soon, we’ll be adding a community resource navigator to our team, whose role will be to guide individuals to resources like CareerForce, local job opportunities, SNAP benefits, domestic violence support, affordable dental care, and more. Our commitment is to walk alongside those we serve as they find their way to self-sufficiency.As a valued supporter of Bountiful Basket, we thank you and invite you to continue this journey with us. Together, we can make a lasting impact, addressing food insecurity and supporting those in need through the most challenging times.

NEW LOGO: Our new logo helps modernize the Bountiful Basket brand identity by drawing strength and recognizability from its clever combination of our initials in a warm yet elevated manner that’s inviting to our clientele, volunteers, donors, and partners. The inclusion of a leaf and green color palette conveys freshness and nourishment, aligning with the new mission.

NEW TAGLINE: Nourish. Support. Empower. is a short, impactful statement that walks through the process of how Bountiful Basket helps clients and cleanly encapsulates our holistic mission. It reflects the organization’s ability to grow services beyond food security.

NEW MISSION: Nourishing neighbors, inspiring hope, and supporting families on their road to self-sufficiency.

NEW VISION: With a mindset of abundance, we envision a community where people feel cared for, and families can spend their energy fulfilling their dreams as opposed to basic needs.

NEW VALUES
Dignity: We treat everyone who enters our doors with respect, compassion, empathy, and without judgment.
Equity & Inclusion: We welcome and accept all, embracing diversity in every form.
Integrity: We hold ourselves accountable and build trust with all our stakeholders, including those we serve, our volunteers, donors, and community partners.

Nutrition: We prioritize healthy, nutrtious food, using it to care for and nourish the people we serve.
