OUR WORK IN MIAMI

Miami is an incredible city that cares deeply about its community. But 17% of Miami-Dade County's population is food insecure, which means approximately 470,000 residents struggle to put food on the table.

Through our program and partnership with Chef Michael Schwartz and The Genuine Hospitality Group since November 2021, Rethink Food has directed over $336,000 to small local food establishments throughout Miami and provided over 75,000 meals to local communities facing food insecurity.

Our work in Miami is an important example of how we are working to create a system where meals are sustainably and consistently going to communities and, ultimately, create a more sustainable and equitable food system.
