Max Herman for Borderless Magazine \/ <span style=\"color: #800000;\">CatchLight Local Chicago<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Farm, Food, Familias is one of several mutual aid groups in Chicago addressing local food insecurity, which COVID-19 has exacerbated. Each Wednesday, volunteers and staff members prepare and deliver hot meals to families in Chicago\u2019s Englewood, Little Village and South Chicago neighborhoods. Carefully prepared by seasoned chefs, these dishes represent diverse cuisines from places like Mexico and the Carribean. More than just meals, they are often nourishing foods that provide residents \u2014 many of whom are immigrants \u2014 with flavors that evoke a sense of comfort, or even of home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since March, Little Village and Englewood have recorded more than <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">19,000 confirmed cases<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of COVID-19. The neighborhoods are home to many Latinx and Black communities who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic, facing higher mortality rates and greater economic hardship than white residents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food insecurity, already a longstanding issue, has also become more pronounced: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeding America<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> estimates that food insecurity in Cook County rose by 51 percent from 2018 to 2020, a number that represents 270,000 additional people unable to attain enough food to live an active, healthy life. Today, the county has the third-largest population of food-insecure people in the United States: nearly 800,000 people, or roughly 15 percent of the population, are impacted. Additionally, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Greater Chicago Food Depository<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> distributed more than 77.5 million meals in fiscal year 2020 \u2014 the greatest amount in its 42-year history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe communities that we&#8217;re distributing to were already suffering and oppressed and in need of care and mutual aid before the pandemic,\u201d said Taryn Randle, founder of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gettinggrowncollective.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting Grown Collective<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an organization advocating for land and food sovereignty. \u201c[The pandemic] put shit into perspective. It provided affirmation and purpose in the passion that we had already.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4919\" style=\"width: 747px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4919\" class=\"wp-image-4919 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Taryn.jpg\" alt=\"Chicago, food, security, pandemic, mutual aid, meals\" width=\"737\" height=\"1070\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4919\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Getting Grown Collective founder Taryn Randle works at the group&#8217;s first green space, Elevated Garden, in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago, Ill.

The idea was sparked by a conversation between Randle and a representative for LVEJO after they attended a four-week virtual cooking class hosted by local chef Roberto P\u00e9rez. P\u00e9rez organizes these workshops through <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbanpilon.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urban Pil\u00f3n<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an educational culinary initiative he co-founded to honor and preserve cooking traditions from Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and Latin America while using natural, healthy ingredients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting Grown Collective and LVEJO invited P\u00e9rez and another chef, Fresh Roberson \u2014 founder of food and farming project <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshertogether.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fresher Together<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 to cook meals each week using produce harvested from a collective of local farms and gardens. The organizations chose P\u00e9rez and Roberson because they wanted to bring the specific cultural flavors of the chefs\u2019 kitchens to families who might find them comforting or familiar. (Roberson, who was born and raised in North Carolina, takes pride in southern culinary traditions and often makes comfort food such as collard greens and meatloaf.) A week later, Farm, Food, Familias launched with an initial target of 50 meals a week.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<div class=\"pk-inline-posts\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"pk-inline-posts-title pk-title pk-font-block\">\n\t\t\t\t\tRead More\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-inline-posts-container pk-inline-posts-template-list\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-columns=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<article id=\"post-3438\" class=\"post-3438 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail category-arts-culture category-environmentandhealth category-labor tag-globalgarden\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-post-outer\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-post-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"entry-thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-overlay pk-overlay-ratio pk-ratio-landscape\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-overlay-background\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/es\/2020\/09\/03\/urban-farm-provides-sense-of-community-for-refugees-during-covid\/\" class=\"pk-overlay-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/071820_GlobalGardenFarm-6-featured.jpg\" class=\"attachment-pk-thumbnail size-pk-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-post-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<header>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"pk-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/es\/2020\/09\/03\/urban-farm-provides-sense-of-community-for-refugees-during-covid\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Urban farm provides sense of community for refugees during COVID<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pk-post-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pk-meta-author meta-author\"><span class=\"author vcard\"><a class=\"url fn n\" href=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/es\/author\/chelsea-verstegen\/\" title=\"View all posts by Chelsea Verstegen\">Chelsea Verstegen<\/a><\/span><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sep\">\u00b7<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pk-meta-date meta-date\"><a href=\"https:\/\/borderlessmag.org\/es\/2020\/09\/03\/urban-farm-provides-sense-of-community-for-refugees-during-covid\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">septiembre 3, 2020<\/a><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/header><!-- .entry-header -->\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .post-inner -->\n\n\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .post-outer -->\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting Grown Collective had received a grant for a project that is now on hold due to the pandemic, and it reallocated the funds to support Farm, Food, Familias. Initially, just eight individuals were responsible for harvesting, cooking, packaging and delivering meals. Now, supported by community donations and additional grants, the team consists of 15 employees, including five chefs, as well as 10 volunteers. Every week, they serve 350 meals to more than 100 families. Farm, Food, Familias also enlists team members who check in on families weekly to make sure their needs are being met.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last Wednesday, Esmeralda Arroyo was among the Little Village residents who received meals from Farm, Food, Familias. Born in Mexico, she moved to California in 2005, then to Chicago two years later. She is a parent coordinator at Madero Middle School, where she arranges classes for parents, but her work had been suspended due to the pandemic. She and her husband, who works in roofing, have struggled to support themselves and their two children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou feel like you are seen, that you aren&#8217;t abandoned and that there are people who are thinking about us,\u201d she said of Farm, Food, Familias\u2019 actions. \u201cThe people who donated money so that we could have a meal or two or three \u2014 it has helped us a lot.&#8221; Arroyo added that she and her husband love that the group provides foods from different cultures that they otherwise wouldn\u2019t be able to try.

It has also started to distribute unused produce and extra meals to local <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelovefridge.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">love fridges<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 community-stocked refrigerators that invite neighbors to take what they need and leave what they can.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Morales, the support network allows her to spend more time with her four sons at home as she cooks while giving back to her community. She has put Amor Y Sofrito on hold to focus on the mutual aid group, being a mom and taking care of herself. She\u2019s grateful that she can offer her skills to feed her neighbors and is excited for what the post-pandemic future holds for her and Farm, Food, Familias.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt&#8217;s a beautiful feeling to be able to be such an important part of the community in these times,\u201d she said. \u201cI don&#8217;t know if [Farm, Food, Familias] realizes that they&#8217;ve also been so helpful to me.
