Give out food at our drive-thru community food distribution. Help fill our neighbors' pantries by loading boxes of food directly into their cars at SVdP's Community Food Distribution -- a drive-thru opportunity for anyone in the community to stop by and get the food and groceries they need.
Nearly one million individuals experience food insecurity in Arizona. Hunger and lack of nutrition take an emotional and stressful toll on individuals and families. When they receive assistance with food and grocery bills, it allows them to stretch their budgets to help with housing stability and other essential needs. On the second and fourth Saturday of the month, St. Vincent de Paul runs a community food distribution that operates like a drive-thru giveaway to help get food to individuals in the community who may not necessarily partake in or qualify for other SVdP programs. Anyone in the community can come to get free food to fill their pantries and take off the stress of grocery bills while also preventing excess food from going to waste. In the past year of the program, we distributed nearly 7.85 million pounds of food to families and individuals in need. Ready to sign up? Scroll down.
