Many Arizonans are struggling to put food on the table and are turning to food banks for the very first time. Our state has many smaller food pantries and soup kitchens that may be able to help. Their services range from free food boxes to meals on-site for a nominal fee. Some serve anyone who walks in while others serve very specific groups.
Please call in advance to ensure the availability of supplies and current procedures for picking up a food box. During the Covid-19 situation, hours and operations may have changed.
