Program Mission

Food assistance program overview & mission

The Food Assistance Program is GiveWave's flagship initiative, operating seven days a week to ensure that no family in our network goes to bed hungry. Through a robust supply chain of local farm partnerships, corporate food donors, and a dedicated volunteer force, we deliver thousands of nutritious meals and grocery packages every month.
Program Mission
"To eliminate food insecurity in our communities by providing consistent, dignified access to nutritious food for every family in need — regardless of background, status, or circumstance."
