Projeto Arroz com Feijão was established by a group of students in Porto Alegre, Brazil, during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the objective of addressing food insecurity in underserved communities. The project channels financial contributions to trusted NGOs, which are responsible for distributing essential food items, particularly rice and beans, to families in need.

In 2021, the initiative was expanded to São Paulo and now operates in both cities, maintaining its commitment to promoting solidarity, social responsibility, and access to adequate nutrition.

Through the ongoing support of volunteers and donors, PACF has made a meaningful impact by delivering food assistance to countless families, demonstrating how youth-led initiatives can make a difference and have large impacts.
