(1) Strengthen Communities - We promote the idea of sharing food and art at every gathering. Ending world hunger requires that we learn to support each other’s needs. Art creates a space for us to empathize and understand each other’s needs. Competition between communities encourages community interdependence.

(2) Encourage Social Responsibility - We believe that world hunger is an issue so complex that it touches everybody and therefore requires a fight from everyone. Sharing information about food insecurity and creative ways to join the fight encourages individuals to move into action.

(3) Promote Food Justice - We work to create a national and global awareness of hunger and support efforts dedicated to ending world hunger. Together we can use our knowledge and experience to fight hunger as one.
