AllThrive 365 (formerly the Foundation for Senior Living) has been selected for a $10,000 grant by the Delta Dental of Arizona Foundation to support its nutrition programs, providing critical meals to families, seniors and adults with disabilities across Maricopa County. The funding will help sustain its congregate meal programs, home-delivered meals, emergency food boxes and nutrition education initiatives, ensuring access to healthy, balanced meals for those facing food insecurity.
Food insecurity remains a significant challenge for Arizona’s aging population, the nonprofit organization said. In 2022, Feeding America found that 12 percent of Maricopa County, or 530,930 individuals, were facing food insecurity and lacked access to proper, nutritious meals. For the Valley’s older adults, this can mean choosing between buying groceries or affording medication, as financial, transportation and mobility barriers make accessing nutritious meals increasingly difficult.
The organization provided more than 190,000 hot meals in 2024 and currently serves approximately 800 hot meals each weekday. Last year, its food pantries distributed 732,000 pounds of food, helping ensure that Arizona’s seniors and families don’t go hungry. Learn more at www.allthrive365.org.
