<p><strong>Mission</strong></p>
<p><em>We strive to help meet the immediate needs of hunger in Asbury Park and to organize within our community to prevent hunger and injustice in the future.</em></p>
<p><strong>Vision</strong></p>
<p><em>We want to see an Asbury Park that is dedicated to racial, economic, sexuality, gender, and environmental justice so that all its community members are empowered, have good affordable housing, healthy food, high quality educations, and good jobs. The realization of these visions will end hunger.</em></p>
<p>We have a three-pronged system at Food Justice at Trinity.</p>
<ol>
<li>We ask why people are hungry? (Answers, systemic racism and unjust economic systems)</li>
<li>We meet the immediate needs of hunger with our pantry and community meal.</li>
<li>We organize in our community to end future hunger and injustice.</li>
</ol>
<p><em> </em></p>
