Community food initiativesAt Activate Food Arizona, we understand that food insecurity isn’t confined to one region in our state. That’s why we tailor our vetted food access models to meet the unique food access needs of our rural and Tribal communities, too.

These studies provide detailed program planning for and assessment of a specific community’s needs as well as recommend various mobile market program design executions, including budget creation, staffing needs, funding plans, vehicle retrofitting, and more.
