Our Mission and Values

How We Have Grown and Crafted Our Model of Care

Our Mission

The Well Outreach exists to be the hands and feet of Jesus by serving those in need through supporting spiritual, emotional and physical growth.

Our organization provides food for the hungry in our community.  We do this in a manner that fully recognizes the dignity of each person who comes to us with this need.  We welcome them, listen to them, pray with them and provide personal accompaniment and client choice as they shop for food.

We operate without any geographical boundaries, ensuring that anyone who visits us will be provided with food.  Each year, since our founding in 2006, we have served more and more families from a wider geographical area.  We now operate four programs to meet the needs of those facing food insecurity.

Our community’s need is great, but so too is our community’s response. Over 400 volunteers help us each week.  Painted on large walls in both of our food pantries is the mantra we live by: It takes a community to feed a community!

Our Values

The Well Way…

 

The statements within Our Values represent our way of proceeding – how we go about bringing our mission to life.  We call these, in the collective, The Well Way.

Community Service Volunteering

Important Note

If you are seeking community service hours, please sign up to do so within these opportunities in our VOMO volunteer portal, not the other pantry serving options.

In addition, you must attend a Well Tour Orientation before beginning your serving hours with us.  You can sign up for that via the Learning & Training opportunities in VOMO.

Night of Hope

Join us on Saturday, February 28 for our annual gala that features dinner, an auction and a live concert.

Light in the Darkness

Can you help be a candle in the darkness that enshrouds so many who are facing food insecurity? Your end-of-year gift will help us continue to provide the light of hope to them.
