Shopping With Dignity Fund

What Sets Quest Apart: A Grocery Shopping Experience with Dignity

Quest stands out for its unique approach to addressing food insecurity. Unlike traditional food banks, we offer a pricing model that empowers our clients to choose the food they need, when they need it, without the stigma of a handout. At Quest, clients can shop with dignity, selecting items from our shelves just as they would in any other grocery store — and at prices that allow them to make choices without the burden of financial stress.

GROCERY ESSENTIALS PROGRAM

Ensuring Access to Essential Dairy and Protein Products for Our Clients

At Quest, we are committed to providing our clients with access to nutritious and culturally appropriate food. To achieve this, we actively build partnerships with grocery retailers, local farm producers, and food distributors. Through a combination of food donations and purchasing agreements, supported by the funds we raise as a non-profit organization, we ensure a reliable and diverse food supply.

Repack Program

How We Transform Bulk Food Donations into Personalized, Right-Sized Groceries for Our Clients

At Quest, we take pride in our innovative Repack Program, a unique initiative that sets us apart from other food rescue organizations. With the support of our dedicated volunteers, we have the capacity to efficiently repurpose bulk food donations into smaller, more manageable retail-sized portions. From lentils and fresh-baked goods to animal protein, our program ensures that we can quickly repackage large food donations to meet the specific needs of our Clients. Support Quest’s efforts to resize and provide fresh, nutritious food to our market Clients.

Food Distribution PROGRAM

Ensuring Freshness and Access: The Backbone of Our Food Distribution

At Quest, we understand that combating food insecurity requires not only access to food but also the assurance that it is fresh, safe and nutritious. A key component of our mission is an efficient and reliable food distribution system, one that ensures the food we source is handled with care every step of the way. Learn more about how Quest moves food and keeps it fresh through cold storage.
