“Food insecurity continues to affect Arizona communities at historic levels. Our most vulnerable residents – children – are suffering, with an estimated one in five kids considered food insecure. In Tempe, we continue to support our nonprofit partners, local food banks and schools serving children and families in need through City-funded grants, community resource events, educational initiatives and more. As leaders, we must work side-by-side to ensure children and families in our communities have the healthy food they need to thrive.” – Tempe Mayor Corey Woods.
