Mission 

Keeping Us Secure & Prosperous is a  501(c)(3) organization that provides holistic initiatives, programs & services focused around increasing access to emergency food and preparedness in disadvantaged communities.

Vision

Our vision is that all humans in our community have the food, resources and knowledge needed to live fulfilled lives and have less stressors that would lead to community gun violence.

Why We Do What We Do

According to Abraham Maslow, human needs were arranged in a hierarchy, with physiological (survival) needs at the bottom, and the more creative and intellectually oriented ‘self-actualization’ needs at the top.
Our most basic need is for physical survival, and this will be the first thing that motivates our behavior. Once that level is fulfilled, the next level up is what motivates us, and so on.
The human body cannot function optimally if physiological needs are not satisfied. Maslow considered physiological needs the most important as all the other needs become secondary until these needs are met.
We are determined to make sure that our community, no matter what their socio-economic status, gets the food and other foundational physiological needs. We believe that by making sure that this happens we are not only decreasing the hunger but also community violence in Hampton Roads.
