Jonnycake’s mission is to provide basic needs, resources, and hope to our community members. Our vision is a community without hunger and poverty where everyone can reach their full potential and improve their quality of life. Our values are described below.

We treat those seeking our assistance with respect and dignity.  We believe in self-determination and appreciate the resilience that our community members demonstrate in tackling life’s challenges.

We provide timely and reliable service in an environment where people feel heard, respected, and supported.  We are committed to hiring staff and placing volunteers who are talented, compassionate, and uphold our values and vision.

We welcome and embrace diversity among our members, volunteers, staff and decision-makers.  We continually work to be a culturally competent and inclusive organization.

We believe our community has a shared responsibility for ensuring that our neighbors can meet their basic needs.  We believe we can accomplish more when we work collaboratively with community members and partners to achieve shared goals.
