Non-Discrimination Policy

Dundee Township Foundation, also known as Cardunal Community Cares Senior Food Pantry, primarily serves senior citizens in the local area and is committed to being an equal opportunity agency and service provider. We offer equal volunteer and service opportunities to everyone, regardless of race, color, religion, creed, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, national origin, marital status, disability, or any other characteristic protected by law.

This policy covers every part of Cardunal Community Cares Senior Food Pantry, including the following areas:

  • Recruitment, volunteer selection, placement, and participation
  • Board membership
  • Delivery of programs, services, vendor selection, and general operations

Cardunal Community Cares will not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or unfair treatment of any board member, volunteer, or client based on the protected categories listed above. This includes making derogatory comments, bullying, excluding people from activities, or denying reasonable accommodations.

Anyone who experiences or witnesses discrimination or harassment should report it promptly to the Board President or any other Board member. Every report will be taken seriously, investigated thoroughly, and kept as confidential as possible.

Cardunal Community Cares does not allow retaliation against anyone who reports discrimination in good faith or takes part in an investigation. Anyone who retaliates may face disciplinary action, including removal from the Board or termination of services.

This policy reflects Cardunal Community Cares’ commitment to an inclusive, supportive environment where all Board members, volunteers, and clients are valued, respected, and treated fairly. Everyone affiliated with Cardunal Community Cares is expected to comply with this policy.
