About
Health and Food Programs: Our Health & Food initiatives are broad efforts to increase access to healthy and culturally-relevant foods in order to prevent negative health outcomes and to strengthen regional food systems. In the past fiscal year, we distributed 69,892,340 pounds of food both within and outside of our service area. Over 46 million pounds of which was fresh fruits and vegetables. 39 million pounds of food was distributed in southern Arizona alone. 54% of that distributed in southern Arizona was through our mobile distribution sites and our locations in Tucson, Amado, Green Valley, Marana, Willcox, and Nogales, while 46% was distributed through our network of 385 partner agencies. 292,435 senior meals and 99,985 community meals were distributed through our Caridad Community Kitchen, 16,491 unique children were served through our child nutrition programs, and 166,698 unique individuals were served through our two major USDA programs: The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP).Health disparities can largely be attributed to unequal access to healthy foods, in which socio- economic factors such as race, gender, income, and location of residence play a role. In the past fiscal year, we gave over $90,000 in monetary grants to partner organizations to improve their services related to food distribution. For food insecure populations, lack of access to healthy food often results in a wide variety of negative health outcomes like increased incidence and prevalence of diabetes, poor management of certain behavioral conditions, and social isolation.Our health and food efforts work across our service area to provide nutritious, culturally relevant foods to those who are experiencing hunger and adverse health outcomes. Our community health care partnerships help advance regional policy and has the potential to inform national policy.
