Core Values

  • We believe in our team and the moral compass they follow. Respect is the most basic value of Good Source: respect for the work of each person who makes a daily contribution to our progress; respect for the team and the organization of which we are all members; respect for the communities that give us a home.
  • We do what we say and are fair to suppliers, customers, and employees. We believe in long term collaborative relationships.
  • We believe in innovation and creativity (thinking differently, non-traditional, solution based).
  • We believe in a higher purpose: Working with suppliers to reduce food waste in this country, while providing affordable foods for those customers with budgetary constraints.
  • We believe in our environment and the capacity of the environment to provide for future generations. We support those manufacturers promoting sustainable food production; those concerned with sustainability of our food system; and those addressing issues of environmental stewardship, diet and health, and viability of communities.
  • We believe in creating opportunities out of problems with the help of innovation.
  • We believe in supporting our community. Our efforts include:

    • The Treasure Box. Through the Treasure Box, we are able to partner with faith-based and community-action organizations to provide families with affordable food and bring communities together.
