A & MW extends these various services and programs to the economically, mentally, and physically challenged; the poor and homeless; the undereducated and underserved; people living with symptomatic HIV and AIDS; substance abuse; seniors 55 years and older; pre-natal women; at risk youth; and homebound people living with serious illness. Our members, and the people we serve are of different race, faith, culture, age, gender, sexual orientation and income levels.

As part of that principal mission, A & MW works for basic economic survival security for all and the elimination of poverty by providing these services thus effecting societal and governmental policies that regulate the less fortunate to the bottom of the economic, social, health, and opportunity pyramid, with full understanding that any policy which affects the poorest of us affects all of us. By catering to everyone we have built many allies with statewide and national anti-hunger organizations to support legislation addressing low-income people's food needs. In doing so, we help build power in our communities and win institutional changes on the issues that affect our lives as we provide fresh, hot, nutritious meals and bags of groceries with healthy meat, fish, breads, perishable and non-perishable food, such as canned vegetables and fruits, tuna fish, peanut butter, rice, dry beans and pasta, at a location near their home that are served to anyone without restriction.
