International Arts & Philanthropy Foundation fiscally sponsors Cast Member Pantry - a non-profit organization serving Cast Members in Florida and California who are facing hardships.
Founded by a former Cast Member at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, we provide groceries and other essential items delivered directly to cast members' doors at no charge thanks to the support of our donors.
Almost $300,000 has been raised and thousands of Cast Members served throughout Florida and California. Please see our 2022 IMPACT REPORT and join us in helping Cast Members facing hardships.

When you purchase one of our reusable CMP grocery totes you are providing a bag of groceries to a Cast Member in need. We will provide you a letter of thanks explaining what the bag represents. This can be the perfect gift for someone as well! Think of that person that is so hard to shop for since they have everything they need. Email us to place your order: castmemberpantry@gmail.com

Volunteer
We love volunteers! In fact, during our first year we had over 400 different volunteers come through to donate their time. Now that we are virtual, our volunteer shifts look a little different and are few and far between, but if you’d like to donate your time we would love to have you. Please reach to us at castmemberpantry@gmail.com for more information.
NO CAST MEMBER GOES HUNGRY!
Grocery items may vary each month but generally include breakfast items, snacks, canned meat and vegetables, and nonperishable dry good items.
We believe in the word ‘Ohana and what it means for our Cast Member community. We truly are family and we look out for one another.
MISSION COMPLETE!
At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, we produced the #Emerge Virtual Experience as part of a campaign that got 14 million units of Personal Protective Equipment to those who need it most.
Hosted by En Vogue's Rhona Bennett and featuring GetUsPPE.org's Dr. Shikha Gupta, M.D. (TIME100 Next).
#Emerge was presented by Arts Hearts + Philanthropy and sponsored by Farmers Insurance.
