Food Drives

1 in 5 children and 1 in 7 Seniors in Maricopa County don’t have enough food to eat.

Hunger never stops, and food is our greatest need at AZCEND.

By organizing a food drive, you make all the difference to people struggling with hunger and poverty. Thanks to generous community partners, nearly one million pounds of food was distributed in nearly 15,000 food boxes at AZCEND last year providing over 830,000 meals.

Food drives help us stretch our resources even further so that no one goes to bed hungry. Community groups, corporations, churches, students and small businesses are welcome to organize drives throughout the year.

Posters, announcements and fun facts are provided in the Food Drive Toolkit to help you get the word out about your event.
