10 Strategies to Pivot to Emergency Meals for Vulnerable Populations

FareStart has been on the front lines of the coronavirus outbreak in Seattle, supporting the local pivot to increase capacity to serve up to 10,000 meals at FareStart daily for vulnerable populations. Catalyst Kitchens has captured the following best practices to share with our network.
Some funding sources include:
No Kid Hungry Coronavirus Grant Request
Giving Compass Emergency Funding Sources by state for COVID-19 Relief

Our members are on the front lines of efforts to feed vulnerable populations and those insecurely housed during shelter in place orders. As the situations continues to evolve, our team is building resources for members and fellow nonprofits providing community meals and seeking emergency funding to serve their communities.
