Mission

Fair Foods Inc serves
humanity by being a model organization in the principles of using
common sense and ethics to the fair utilization of humanity's
resources. Fair Foods helps transform the under-utilized abundance our
society has into a more equitable paradigm of serving and sharing among
people. Resources of food, materials, knowledge, and compassion are
distributed to those who have a need. FF serves as an organization
which inspires and motivates people to practice this philosophy of
sharing. FF serves as a conduit organization providing the means of
transferring abundance. And, FF serves to develop and coordinate
programs which put into action the equitable distribution principles
that FF represents.

Such
fundamental guidelines of common sense and ethics have a significant
impact upon eliminating a glaring oversight of today’s economic
arrangement: the vast amounts of “good” materials which are regularly
put in landfills, dumps, and onto our ecosystem. Therefore, a positive
ramification of our work is in the reduction of waste from our current
consumer-based society.

Cooperation
is a key component by which FF works, hence FF embraces an ideology of
partnering and the sharing of resources with other organizations
dedicated to helping community and creating greater socioeconomic
balance among all people. Of equal importance is the sharing of
non-physical resources such as knowledge, experience, and compassion.
It is the expressed intent of Fair Exchange for people to give of
themselves—their education, their values, and their time to those less
fortunate individuals who cannot afford or who have not had the
opportunities of sound guidance and mentoring in these areas.
Cooperation is a key component by which FE works, hence FE embraces an
ideology of partnering and the sharing of resources with other
organizations dedicated to helping community and creating greater
social/economic balance among all people.

FF is—above all—a loving, compassionate and humanitarian organization.
FF is a beacon of hope, encouraging people to believe in the good of
humanity and offset the spread of apathy. FF is a proactive
organization that inspires people to help one another instead of
fighting amongst or neglecting one another. FF has at its base of
action: love and the best interests of furthering the development of a
truly good society.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Dollar a Bag

Our “Dollar-a-Bag Donation
Program” operates through a network of some 200 volunteers weekly in
over 50 “Dollar-a-Bag” food distribution sites, situated in churches,
schools, and senior housing complexes. For a donation of one dollar
(though food is given regardless), a family receives about 15 pounds of
groceries. The “dignity of a dollar” approach is unique among hunger
relief programs in that food recipients feel not ashamed but empowered,
paying for their goods like everyone else.

Fair
Foods is not an emergency feeding program. Fair Foods is weekly
groceries, leveraging family food budgets to provide better and more
food. More importantly, Dollar-a-Bag sites are located in areas of
economic stress.
