COVID-19 pandemic amplified the food insecurity problem in Arizona while testing the community’s resilience to handle it.

The COVID-19 pandemic followed by the lockdown of the economy has left many people previously food secure seeking support. This project documents how our community has adapted its response to reach and support more people than ever before.
