Welcome to Porchlight
Community Services
At Porchlight Community Services, we are dedicated to transforming how food is accessed and enjoyed in our community. Our mission is to bridge the gap for families who might not qualify for traditional assistance but still need support to provide nutritious food for their loved ones. We proudly offer a client-choice, dignified approach to food assistance, focusing on sustainability, food justice, and inclusivity.
Our Mission and Values
Our mission is to reduce food waste and promote equitable access to nutritious food. We believe in empowering individuals and families by giving them the freedom to choose their groceries fostering a sense of dignity and self-sufficiency. Our core values include community solidarity, environmental sustainability, and a commitment to supporting diverse dietary needs.
Our Story
Porchlight Community Services began with a simple yet powerful idea: to offer a helping hand to those who need it most in a way that respects their choices and needs. Over time, our program has grown, thanks to the support of our dedicated community members and partners. Each milestone we achieve is a testament to those involved's collective effort and compassion.
