ESG: Environmental, Social and Governance
In the parlance of sports, Alexia Parks and the company she runs would be characterized as a triple threat—namely, she feeds the hungry, assures that healthy food is provided, and creates jobs for those who lost their jobs at the height of the pandemic to carry forth this campaign. With both energy and courage, Alexia does not settle for the status quo and by so doing realizes her goal of doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right place.
Finance and Economics
I have assisted many small business owners and reviewed many business plans. The First Food Responder model stands out because it creates jobs while tackling food insecurity without creating additional bureaucracy. It places no burden on government resources, is good for the economy, and is good for the environment. First Food Responders is a winner!
Energy and Air Pollution Reduction
I oversee programs that reduce the energy burden and carbon consumption of low-income residents of Riverside County. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was tapped to begin sourcing and delivering meals to vulnerable unhoused resi- dents. We ran this operation for four months before contract- ing with 23ZIP, Inc., home of the First Food Responders. It was then that I met Alexia Parks and was introduced to the First Food Responder model. As a professional dedicated to developing programs that meet people’s needs and serve the greater community at the same time, I was immediately taken by the breadth of positive externalities of this model.
Physical and Mental Health
I served as an advisor to this innovative food technology com- pany in early 2021. I believe that the future of food is hyperlo- cal, fresh, healthy, and seasonal. I also believe that shared food experiences have the power to heal us and improve our phys- ical, emotional, mental, and even spiritual well-being. I look forward to a future collaboration with First Food Responders!
