Why Now?

Facing the reality of increasingly frequent droughts, heat waves, and heavy precipitation, Food Responders is seeking to change the way we approach responding to these incidents in the face of climate change.

Our Solution

Keep local
dollars local

We have a vibrant ecosystem of local businesses and restaurants that want to support their communities during times of distress.

They just need a pathway to unlock their ability to do so, and sustain themselves during times of devastation.

Empower
local response

Emergency response is often a chaotic time where its difficult to engage local businesses quickly or effectively.

At the same time that an emergency might be shutting down a local economy, resources that could be sustaining the economy of local food businesses are often directed to large outside entities with little connection to a particular community.

Food as a source
of comfort

During the chaos that follows an emergency, it can be difficult to engage local businesses quickly or effectively, so large outside entities are often brought in to meet immediate needs. Instead, directing emergency funding and resources towards small businesses to meet the community's needs can help sustain the local economy and foster resiliency.
