ABOUT THE COMMUNITY FOOD BANK The Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona responds to the root causes of hunger, and seeks to restore dignity, health, opportunity, and hope to people living in poverty. Our mission is to change lives in the communities we serve by feeding the hungry today and building a healthy, hunger-free tomorrow. With your support, we provide food to families and children across five counties of southern Arizona through a network of community-based programs. We work with schools, libraries, nonprofits, neighborhood groups, and more to make sure that no person goes hungry. We also work to end the root causes of hunger and build a healthy local food system through programs like job training, farmers’ markets, garden education, nutrition education, leadership development, community farms, and more.

WHAT IS HUNGERWALK? WALK WITH US! HungerWalk is a fun, family-friendly event, a chance to get out, get active, and give back. Join us for HungerWalk 2021 on Saturday, September 11th and walk to raise awareness and end hunger in our communities.
