Creating Our Mission Statement

Assignment for our class is to create a mission statement for our new non profit... The gap filling food bank.. We already decided that "gap" and "crack" weren't great names. We need a name and a mission statement.

If you want to put examples of ones you found online that would be helpful too

1. 5-10 words that describe our non profit

2. 5-10 words describing the ideal image- what we want to be known for

3. 5-10 words- how do we imagine our non profit?

And everyone add your two mission statements and two names for our organization.. so we have something to work with on Friday!(She said we should actually be finished by class Friday but she said we could have more time I believe)

  1. Possible mission statements: We end hunger in the area (wherever it is) and seek lasting solutions to those in need of food. We provide educational opportunities and trips to starving areas in the community.
    Another could be: We provide care to those who are hungry and in need of food. We give lectures and talks about hunger epidemics taking place to educate people and act upon those matters through get-togethers.
    Some names could be: Ending Hunger, Food for the Hungry, Feed the Starving People, or Food for the Community
