SUPPORT COMMUNITY FOOD BANKS
Donate money or volunteer!
From LWVAZ

Food insecurity affects families in every corner of our state, but each of us can play a part in ensuring that no one goes hungry. Here are several ways to get involved:

  • Locate a food bank near you Visit https://azfoodbanks.org  to search by location or type of service, including “to-go” boxes, served meals, and infant food packages. Once you identify a food bank in your area or one that aligns with your interests, reach out directly to learn about the items that are most in demand and when drop-offs are accepted.

OR Contact:
Community Food Bank of Southern AZ
OR Check Out:
Tucson Love Letter Food Resources
OR Donate nonperishable food
items at the LWVGT Office-800 N Swan Rd. 

The office is staffed 10:30 AM-12:30 PM M-F.

We need YOUR help through phone banking.
