Inter-Faith Food Shuttle envisions a hunger free community. We FEED our neighbors, TEACH self-sufficiency, GROW healthy foods, and CULTIVATE innovative approaches to end hunger. We do this by engaging communities facing hunger to understand their unique needs and barriers. For our GROW initiatives, the Food Shuttle grows fresh produce at our 14-acre Farm in Raleigh and our Learning Gardens in Raleigh and Durham to distribute to our neighbors in need. Our learning gardens are also a place where community gardeners can grow their own produce and be a part of a community where mentorship and learning are cornerstones. Recently launched, our Gardens for Everyone project builds garden boxes at the homes of our neighbors or in partnership with nonprofits serving those at risk of hunger. Last fiscal year, the Food Shuttle and its volunteers built 110 garden boxes through this new project.

Loans are rarely given to the poorer people in the community we serve, as they have no collateral, meaning they struggle to find ways to escape the poverty trap. Micro-finance is a proven way of not creating millionaires but increasing living standards for those who need the most help.

Most of the women we serve do not even own bank accounts, as when all the family expenses have been met, albeit with difficulty, there is nothing left to save. Banks, Microfinance Institutions even informal Shylocks need one to present a healthy financial history in the bank statements, a document over 90% of the group members lack. This unfortunate factor contributes to the depths of poverty among the women in the communities we serve, who need help to come out.
