We’re so grateful to everyone who donated, participated, and helped make this year such a success.

Food Truth Tuesday: Food insecurity is rising across Northern Arizona — and it does not look the same everywhere.

It affects children, seniors, rural families, people living in the Grand Canyon region, and working adults who are still being squeezed by rent, utilities, transportation, medical costs, and grocery prices.

In FFFC’s 2025 Northern Arizona Food Equity Report, the data shows:

1️⃣Those experiencing food insecurity across N. Arizona are primarily children, seniors, and actively working adults.
2️⃣The housing crisis in Flagstaff significantly contributes to food insecurity and hunger.
3️⃣In rural areas, high costs for food and essential resources and services, combined with increased barriers to employment, exacerbate hunger and food insecurity.
4️⃣Food insecurity in Grand Canyon National Park is a serious issue, compounded by its unique regional challenges and unique employment setup.

The truth is: when housing, utilities, gas, medical bills, and other expenses are high, food is the first thing to get left off the table.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the CommunityCares “On the Road Series” focused on Arizona’s Closed Loop Referral System with Unite Us!

This gathering highlighted new ways organizations can get involved in the referral network, strengthen cross-sector partnerships, and ensure community members are connected to the care and resources they need. If your organization is interested in learning more about these programs or how to get connected to the referral network, please contact [email protected].

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with community organizations, healthcare partners, and local leaders who are all working toward stronger collaboration and better support for individuals and families across Northern Arizona. Together, we explored how coordinated referrals, partnerships, and new community-based programs can help address social determinants of health and improve access to essential resources — including opportunities for providers to connect clients to programs that offer meal support and food access services. Thank you to all who attended!
