What We Do

At a time when disasters are becoming more frequent and federal assistance is uncertain, our company works with partners at metro, state and regional levels to develop strategies and plans to help communities keep people fed when they need it most.

The Feeding Cities Group is a consulting firm that works with food businesses, emergency management agencies, government, and disaster relief organizations to improve planning and expand capacity within cities and communities for feeding people after disasters.

We work globally, but our focus is on North America.

Core Services

We provide specialized technical expertise and analysis, as well as community facilitation, to help our partners build local capacity for disaster feeding response for supporting a rapid recovery of local food businesses. We call it Sustained Disaster Food Planning.

Our services are designed to:

fill a local emergency management planning and response gap around mass feeding,
streamline mass feeding for faster mobilization, greater coordination, and less confusion,
scale community relationship building and planning for regional/national businesses and organizations,
save state government resources, including dollars spent on emergency food, and
decrease the amount of time disaster relief organizations are needed after the disaster.

We leave behind actionable plans, strategic priorities, insights that are used to influence policy and secure funding, and most importantly the infrastructure for implementation.
