🥁Now presenting: the first graduating cohort of the AzFBN Community Advisory Council! 👏👏👏👏

Data alone cannot tell us what food insecurity feels like, how it weighs on individuals, disrupts routines, and shapes dignity.

💡That’s why centering lived experience is essential. When people closest to the problem are also closest to the solution, we can better design systems that reflect real needs, values, and priorities.

This council of 9 individuals, compensated equitably for their time and energy, emerged from a group of about 30 other Arizonans who participated in AzFBN's listening sessions back in 2025.

These sessions culminated in a comprehensive report about current lived experience of food insecurity in Arizona, which has been shared with AzFBN's member food banks and partners. The listening sessions were designed to surface the emotional, logistical, and systemic experiences that don’t often show up in traditional data.

🍊Likewise, the leaders that emerged for the Community Advisory Council will guide AzFBN's advocacy efforts to illuminate the unseen gaps and strengths in our emergency food system. Through their convening, they will co-create a curriculum to empower more people with lived experience, including trainings and workshops to equip them as agile advocates.

Together, through understanding and empowerment, we will create a . ✊

Special thanks to 4 Da Hood LLC and Pink Trumpet LLC for facilitating this heartfelt work.
