Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona Helping Families in Need
This month’s KGUN 9 Giving Project nonprofit is the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, an organization that has been supporting local families and individuals facing hunger for nearly five decades. Founded in 1976, the Community Food Bank works to address food insecurity across Southern Arizona through a wide range of programs and services.
Its mission goes beyond emergency relief, focusing on both feeding people today and building a healthier, hunger-free future for the region. The Food Bank provides emergency food assistance to individuals and families in need, while also supporting child nutrition programs to help ensure kids have reliable access to healthy meals.
Through its farm and community garden initiatives, the organization grows fresh produce locally, increasing access to nutritious food and supporting sustainable food systems. Additional programs include local food initiatives and health and nutrition education.
