You make all the difference to neighbors in need
1 in 5 children and 1 in 7 Seniors in Maricopa County don’t have enough food to eat.
Hunger never stops. New faces arrive at the food bank every day making food the greatest need at AZCEND.
By supporting a food drive, you bring help and hope to people struggling with hunger and poverty. Thanks to generous community partners, more than one million pounds of food was distributed in over 17,000 food boxes at AZCEND last year providing more than one million meals.
Food drives help us stretch our resources even further so that no one goes to bed hungry. Community groups, corporations, churches, students, neighborhoods and small businesses organize drives throughout the year. Most needed items include nonperishable food such as canned fruits and vegetables, canned meats and fish, soup, pasta and peanut butter as well as financial support. Your gifts change lives!
