For example: Myers, D. (2014) Exploring Psychology (9th Edition). Worth, pages 35-39. OR
Henslin, J. (2016). Sociology: A Down-to-Earth Approach. Core Concepts (6th Edition). Pearson, page 102.
For an online source (particularly those related to your agency history) you will have a citation that looks like this:
High Plains Food Bank: About The Agency.
As well, be sure you cite your sources in the body of your text: For example:
The purpose of the High Plains Food Bank is to help "food insecure" families get the nutrition they need in the 29 counties of the Texas Panhandle (High Plains Food Bank: About, May 21, 2016).
Or: Myers (2014, p. 375) tells us that people must have their basic needs met before they can accomplish higher order goals. This idea is put forth in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (Maslow, 1970), which shows that needs like hunger and thirst must be met before people will go after personal goals like building self-esteem and attaining an educational degree.
