We haven’t seen anything like this.

This is the first time in the modern history of the SNAP program – more than 60 years – that SNAP may not get distributed. 

AzFBN and member food banks will do everything we can to respond so that as many people as possible will get the resources they need. 

You are not alone. We are in this together.

Want to help others find food?

6 ways you can help today

  • Ask your neighbor if they’re in need. Support food banks by shortening the line and helping those around you. Consider starting a “give or get” box in your workplace or neighborhood to share goods freely.

  • Donate to the Arizona Food Bank Network to support food banks and pantries across all 15 counties. Consider a monthly gift as hunger persists year-round.

  • Hold a community fundraiser to raise awareness at work, school, church, online, or wherever you find community.

  • Donate funds or non-perishable items to your local food bank or pantry. Use our map to find their website or phone number and learn what their most pressing needs are. Please note that AzFBN does not accept in-kind donations.

  • Sign up for a volunteer shift at your local food bank or pantry.

  • Share your story. Your experience with SNAP can help others get the support they need and help AzFBN with future advocacy efforts.
