We believe all people have value for the unique perspectives and experiences they bring. Spoonfuls operates without discrimination in diverse communities across Massachusetts, and we endeavor to mirror that representation in our own organization. We aim to create and foster a workplace and organization where everyone can bring their whole selves, and where all people are valued.
Our core values are the beliefs and guiding principles that help us understand the difference between right and wrong in the context of our mission. These values underscore everything we do here.
Our work is grounded in and in service to Spoonfuls’ mission. We are clear on our role in ensuring good food reaches people who need it.
As experts in food recovery and logistics, we conduct our business with consistency, reliability, and professionalism that builds credibility and fosters the community’s trust in our team.
We show up for people and the planet. Especially, we show up for those communities we reach with the food we recover, for our partners, end recipients, and one another. We stay steady in the face of uncertainty in our food system and crises in our world. We deliver.
We treat others the way we expect to be treated – with fairness and dignity. We respect the many people and resources it takes to get food from farm to fork.
We recognize that we work within an inherently unpredictable space, and we make the most of food available to be recovered. We are responsive to the changing needs and unique circumstances of the communities, partners, and people we serve.
We know we are better and stronger together, informed by community voices and working alongside others who share our commitment. We recognize that the work we do together would not be possible without our food and fund donors, community and coalition partners, board, and staff.
In service to Spoonfuls’ mission, we go where we can be useful. We make the most of time and resources. Each person on our team has a unique and uniquely important charge in service to our mission, bringing different skills, experiences, and perspectives to bear. We are good stewards of the food we recover and the funds we raise to conduct our business.
