National Preparedness Month: Preparing Together with Simply Fresh Events

September is National Preparedness Month—a time to think ahead, plan smart, and build resilience. At Simply Fresh Events, we believe that being prepared isn’t just about reacting—it’s about ensuring your community, organization, or family can continue with dignity, nourishment, and safety when unexpected events strike. Here’s how we help—and how you can take steps now to strengthen your preparedness.

Why Preparedness Matters

• Disruptions are inevitable. Weather events, power failures, health emergencies—these things happen. What’s less inevitable is how we respond.
• Food = care. Access to nutritious, wholesome food can make a huge difference not just physically, but mentally. Meals offer comfort and routine.
• Communities thrive through collaboration. Preparedness isn’t just an individual task. When neighbors, organizations, and service providers are aligned, the response is smoother, more effective.

Story from the Field

During a major power outage last year, Simply Fresh Events stepped in to feed emergency workers who were working around the clock to restore power quickly for our community members. Because we had already established a plan with our local partners, meals rolled out seamlessly and crews could stay nourished and focused on their vital work. -A Community Parter
