Mission
To ensure our communities are healthy and hunger-free today, tomorrow, and always.
Program accomplishments
- Health and Food Programs: Our Health & Food initiatives are broad efforts to increase access to healthy and locally grown, sustainable foods to prevent negative health outcomes and strengthen regional food systems. We continued food distribution efforts at our Resource Centers, mobile distributions, community farm, and through our network of 250+ partner agencies across our 5-county service area of Cochise, Graham, Greenlee, Pima, and Santa Cruz Counties. Caridad Community Kitchen distributed 423,148 meals to seniors and the broader community throughout southern Arizona this fiscal year. We continue to serve our communities through our two major USDA programs: The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP)and the Commodities Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). We provided 500,390 (TEFAP) and 87,772 (CSFP) food boxes through these two USDA programs. 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, locally sustainable foods to those who are experiencing hunger and adverse health outcomes. Our community health-care partnerships help advance regional measures and have the potential to inform national policy.Expenses $94,991,337 · grants $82,257,533 · revenue $1,401,817
- Educational Programs: We believe resources and opportunities are inequitably distributed between communities, and that education can help build a bridge out of poverty toward improved socio-economic conditions. We continued to provide both virtual and in-person training on topics like environmental stewardship, gardening, nutrition, social connection through skill building, engagement, career readiness, and leadership development. At Caridad Community Kitchen, we provided 7,045 hours in culinary training to 18 students. All our efforts are grounded in support of our mission to build healthy, hunger-free communities.Expenses $2,014,290 · grants $13,117 · revenue $16,306
- Community Development Programs: We believe hunger and poverty are outcomes of broader systems and local policies that create a sense of powerlessness, resource inequity, and issues of under or over-representation. Our community development work focuses on groups, organizations, and governments to create opportunities for change in these systems. We lead initiatives that increase the capacity, engagement, and self-determination of community members and organizations to determine, enact, and sustain solutions to systemic problems and local issues. In the past fiscal year, we awarded $1,018,619 to partner organizations for projects to maintain or improve services, train and educate community members, address disparities with dignity, and change the conditions that cause food insecurity and poverty. Through Avanzando LLC, we provided fiscal sponsorship and technical assistance to 8 community groups. Each of these projects is in line with CFB's mission to build healthy, hunger-free communities. We continue to engage and train people in community-building events at Las Milpitas Community Farm and at Nuestra Tierra Garden. Our Santa Cruz River Farmers Market generated over $252,722 in direct-to-consumer sales. Of that total, 49% percent consisted of Public Assistance benefits including SNAP/food stamps, Double-Up Food Bucks (SNAP-match), and Farmers' Market Nutrition Program coupons for low-income older adults and families with children. We convened the Farm-to-Institution Value Chain initiative to continue building institutional markets for local farm products, creating more than $650,000 in pre-season contracts with local farmers, and facilitating sales to institutional buyers. Through funding, technical assistance, and leadership development, we help to build resilient organizations and networks. As new leaders emerge and new needs arise, they are better able to weather storms and maintain healthy communities.Expenses $1,515,839 · grants $1,190,172 · revenue $171,011
