Chef Jennifer with Witnessing Nature In Food specializes in All-Organic Catering. She has been an essential member of the Fresh Food Collaboration Movement, participating in both our food box distribution program as well as being one of our Go-To partners for distributing pre-prepared meals. We are so grateful to have a soul like Chef Jennifer working on our team during these challenging times.
Between her company, Chefs Lori + Scott Harlig at Amici Catering , and Chef Danielle Leoni at The Breadfruit & Rum Bar , the Fresh Food Collaboration Movement has delivered over 16,000 pre-prepared meals directly to those in need.
Funding for these meals has come from donations as well as the Feed Phoenix Grant program from City of Phoenix. Local First Arizona has coordinated the allocation of these grant funds to Urban Farming Education and other partners.
So far, meals have gone to first responders, food pantries, homeless shelters, veterans shelters, domestic violence shelters, shelters for persons with physical disabilities, and more.
