NOAH'S ARK CHILD AND ADULT CARE FOOD PROGRAM, WAS FOUNDED TO PROVIDE NUTRITIONAL AND CHILD CARE SUPPORT AND SERVICES TO THOSE WHO CARE FOR OTHERS. WE ARE COMMITTED TO BEING RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS OF PROVIDERS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR LOCATION OR LEVEL OF NEED, SO THAT THEY, IN TURN, CAN RESPOND TO THE DEVELOPING NEEDS OF THE CHILDREN THEY CARE FOR. THEREFORE THE ORGANIZATION ASCRIBES TO THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES UPON WHICH IT WAS FOUNDED: 1.EVERY CHILD IS ENTITLED TO THE BEST NURTURING POSSIBLE SO THAT THE SPIRIT, CREATIVITY AND POTENTIAL OF EACH CHILD CAN BE REALIZED. 2.EVERY PROVIDER IS ENTITLED TO DEPENDABLE, TIMELY SERVICES AND TO A PROGRAM THAT IS RESPONSIVE TO THE PROVIDER'S NEEDS. 3.EVERY STAFF MEMBER IS ENTITLED TO A SECURE AND EQUITABLE WORKING ENVIRONMENT, WHERE THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS ARE RESPECTED AND RECOGNIZED.
