Overview

Mission

The Cultural Cup Food Bank and its staff are committed to providing an environment that protects and maintains a high level of dignity and respect for people in need in which they may receive the best service we can provide. Our focus is on, but not limited to those individuals with medical or religious dietary restrictions. CCFB acknowledges the diversity of those people when faced with dietary or religious food restrictions during times of hardship. The Cultural Cup is also dedicated to providing the best nutritional foods that are available to the homeless population when possible.
