​City of Phoen​​​ix Food Resources During COVID-19

The city of Phoenix provi​​ded $2,644,000 for preparation and delivery of 5,246,566 healthy meals and 5,491 fresh produce boxes to 539,096 individuals and 336,184 families from August 2020 through March 2021. The initiatives provided much needed meals and created a more connected, resilient food system. 

The work was completed through two pr​ograms, 1) the Feed Phoenix Initiative administered by Local First Arizona Foundation that included farms, restaurants, caterers, event venues, and social service organizations, and 2) the Funds to Feed Phoenix and Funds for Schools Initiatives administered by LISC Phoenix that included grassroots/nonprofit organizations and school districts.

FEED PHOENIX INITIATIVE

 

The Feed Phoenix Initiative was a collaborative project between Local First Arizona and the city utilizing CARES Act dollars to bring healthy, high-quality meals to COVID-impacted families in the city of Phoenix. Local restaurants, caterers, and farms located in Phoenix were employed to help prepare meals from Phoenix-grown produce in order to sustain local jobs and supply chains, strengthen the local food economy and, most importantly, help keep all Phoenicians healthy during the ongoing COVID-19 economic, health and social crises. View the Feed Phoenix Report for more details.

Funds to Feed Phoenix Program

The Funds to Feed Phoenix and Funds to Schools Initiative is a collaborative project between LISC Phoenix and the City using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to bring healthy meals to COVID-19 impacted families. This program is a continuation of the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) funded program that provides funding for community and grassroots organizations and school districts. LISC Phoenix managed this program and delivered 5,165,806 meals with CRF funds.​ Grassroots, nonprofits, and community organizations partner to enhance existing food delivery occurring in communities by communities. The initiative engages vulnerable and marginalized populations to provide input on equitable practices for the grant application process in order to reach organizations that may had not be familiar with government grant funding and to design processes that built the capacity of the organizations. Healthy meals and fresh produce boxes are delivered and connections to other nonprofit agencies are developed to increase opportunities for continued partnerships.  

The Funds to Schools Initiative provided funding to assist four school districts located in food deserts and serving COVID-19 impacted families.  The funding enabled school districts to continue to provide summer and weekend meals for an 8-month period.  View the 2020 Funds to Feed Phoenix Report​ for success stories.

View the current list of community organizations and school districts​ that have been identified for grant awards utilizing ARPA funds.​​​
