Growing connections to bring more fresh food to Northern Arizona! 🍉 We were able to rescue pallets of melons from Nogales for families in our community. A big thank you to Mariposa Produce Rescue for connecting with us and sharing in our commitment to increasing fresh food access across Northern Arizona! We're excited to build a new relationship with Mariposa Produce Rescue as we continue exploring opportunities to strengthen our food sourcing and procurement. Partnerships like these are an important part of connecting more fresh, nutritious foods with the communities we serve, while supporting a stronger and more connected regional food system.
Another great opportunity to learn from fellow food banks! Our team recently had the chance to tour Midwest Food Bank Arizona with Merilee and learn more about their operations, sourcing, and distribution efforts. As we continue exploring ways to strengthen our food procurement and expand our impact across Northern Arizona, opportunities like these are incredibly valuable. We're grateful for the chance to exchange ideas, build connections, and learn from organizations doing such important work in their communities. A huge thank you to Merilee for welcoming us and sharing your time and expertise!
