Instacart, a leading online retail platform, has partnered with The Carrie Meek Foundation to invest in the Meek Mobilize Grants Program. They will support winners who are combating nutrition insecurity and supporting inventive community and youth development solutions in their neighborhoods. The company’s generous grant will provide a 50% funding boost to a winner in each of the Opa-locka, Liberty City and Florida City communities, and Instacart gift cards for all of the 22 winning projects to support food and supply needs.
“We are inspired by the impact that each of the winners have made on their communities, and we’re incredibly proud to help support their work through our partnership with The Carrie Meek Foundation,” said Casey Aden-Wansbury, Vice President of Policy & Government Affairs at Instacart. “We’re committed to investing in local neighborhoods, including Black and Brown communities. Partnering with the Foundation helped us identify hyper-local organizations that leverage innovation and grassroots know-how to get residents healthy, nutritious food and inspire the next generation of Miami-Dade’s community builders.”
