FIND (Food In Need of Distribution)

Our mission is to distribute as much food to our distributor/clients as we can, with the amount of labor and warehouse space that our income can support. Every single day, we are trying to increase our income, to pay for the extra labor, ever increasing fuel costs and equipment maintenance. We are in the pipeline to supply as much food to the children, elderly and homeless that can be accomplished under our financial structure. FIND is a non-profit, community-based organization. It is committed to providing food to people who struggle to feed themselves and their families. It is also committed to maximizing public awareness of hunger while working towards long-term solutions to hunger and poverty.

Supporting Beliefs:

We believe every single person in every Coachella Valley neighborhood offers strengths, capacities, abilities and gifts. Hunger and poverty diminish a person’s capacity to be effective in their family, neighborhood and society. Governments also have the legal and moral responsibility to ensure all Coachella Valley residents have adequate food necessities;

We must help the needy, before it becomes a real need.

Collecting and using surplus food is in itself a worthwhile activity.

People from every walk of life are necessary to fulfill our mission.

This should include nutritionally adequate and culturally appropriate food.

Solutions to poverty will only be found once people are invited to the table.

We should work with the community to seek solutions to the causes of hunger.

We have a responsibility to be leaders in combating hunger and poverty.
