Help solve food insecurity on the front lines.

Let’s Change Lives Together
Volunteer and
Make a Difference
Volunteers like you make it possible to provide food to Arizona families facing hunger. Join us for a fun and hands-on experience where, in just one shift, you can help feed thousands through:
Sorting and
Boxing Food
Building Emergency
Food Bags
Serving Families
in Need
Who Can Volunteer?
Everyone is welcome—kids, adults, grandparents, schools, corporate groups and more—to join us in supporting our mission. Children ages 5 to 15 can volunteer at emergency food bag shifts, and teens ages 16-17 can volunteer on their own at any shift with a signed waiver from a parent or guardian.
We are currently unable to accommodate court appointed service.
Other Ways You Can Help
Rally your friends, family, or coworkers to support families in need across Arizona. Whether you collect food or raise funds, your efforts directly help fight hunger in our community.
