Background
United Food Bank is a community-based private nonprofit that provides
hunger relief/food assistance by collecting, acquiring, storing
and distributing food and related commodities through a network
of partner social services agencies in our service area: eastern
Maricopa County, Gila & Pinal Counties and southern Apache &
Navajo Counties.
We are resource driven as well as need driven. Thus, we provide
as many resources as we are able to acquire through our best efforts,
recognizing that there will be times when the need is greater than
the available resources. We work to meet our mission by:
- Providing food and related commodities and services to people
in need through a network of partner agencies
- Providing a system for the distribution of food and related
commodities
- Partnering with emergency food programs and other non-profit
organizations that meet the critical needs of low-income hungry
and food insecure families & individuals
- Educating the public about hunger and food insecurity
- Providing our services with compassion and respect for the
dignity of the client
Mission
United Food Bank provides access to nutritious food for those
who are without — by serving as a community bridge between
those who want to help and those who are in need.
