Support+Feed Wildfire Relief
PBFA is proud to work with Support+Feed to help support fire relief efforts
SUPPORT+FEED LA FIRE RELIEF AND RECOVERY
Support+Feed quickly mobilized to scale meal distribution with trusted partners and community leaders to bring nourishing, climate friendly meals and resources to those impacted by this devastating climate catastrophe.
Within the first week, S+F had increased deliveries by 70% in LA compared to this time last year. LA is our home. We are committed to a long-term strategy as we understand the complexity of recovery.
CLIMATE FRIENDLY MEAL DISTRIBUTION
1 in 4 people in LA already experience food insecurity. This number is expected to grow dramatically as a result of the wildfires. S+F will address challenges of food insecurity and the climate crisis by delivering plant-based meals at scale. Our strategy supports local businesses as the backbone of a thriving community, while uplifting local leaders, serving community organizations, and providing meals directly to those in need through an intentional relief & recovery response.
COMMUNITY KITCHEN
Support+Feed is committed to creating welcoming, safe spaces for long-term recovery with delicious food to connect neighbors. In collaboration with Cena Vegan, we have created a community kitchen in Altadena that provides restaurant quality meals every Wednesday and Sunday to first responders and community members impacted by the fires.
FREE FARMERS MARKET
Support+Feed implements a free farmers market with rescued produce, hot meals and pantry items to community members in Bell Gardens.
