Grant to Rescue Food US – Miami Community Kitchen Program
Miami, FL – July 27, 2020 – Food Rescue US – Miami has been desperate through the Miami Foundation in collaboration with the PepsiCo Foundation directly to secure a $50,000 grant that will be designated to launch paint kitchens in the Little Haiti area. The Community Kitchen program supports the employment of food stall staff while providing loose chef-prepared food to Americans and families with food insecurity, adding licensed and unhired staff in the most of the city’s most under-hosted areas. The program also provided food to frontline staff and local social service agencies.
In reaction to the alarming evidence of COVID-19’s continued negative and disparate influence, PepsiCo, Inc. and its philanthropic arm The PepsiCo Foundation has announced an initiative to produce greater medical and economic support to communities of color circulating around the country. His $500,000 investment in the Miami Foundation Community Recovery Fund supports six Miami-based organizations that reveled in working on the circular crisis to support underserved neighborhoods.
