Strategic Plan, 2024–2027
Overview
Over the past few years, The Food Bank of Waterloo Region has passionately responded to the increasing and urgent demand for food support with initiative and resourcefulness, addressing community needs. While striving to provide equitable services and distribution to the Community Food Assistance Network, there have been instances where our focus leaned more towards reacting to emerging needs rather than proactively addressing them.
Throughout the development of our new strategic plan, we endeavoured to realign our focus on proactive thinking. We dedicated ourselves to achieving greater clarity about our purpose and our role within the Network, aiming to communicate this clarity effectively to all those we engage and collaborate with. The aim of these actions is to drive more impact for our community.
The creation of this new plan was not undertaken in isolation. This process involved the concerted efforts of numerous individuals from The Food Bank of Waterloo Region, the Network, program participants, and community members, investing their time and energy to collaborate and deliberate on our path forward. It aimed not only to define our journey but also to ensure that this journey best serves the present and future needs of the community.
