Superstition Community Food Bank

Why We Do
What We Do

We feed the hungry and refer them to other social services. We are an enabled agency of United Food Bank (UFB) and give out food to provide short-term assistance to families in need. These families are your neighbors, your co-workers, perhaps even another family member. Our records are confidential, and the process is easy, allowing us to give out food the same day as registration.

Unfortunately, Arizona ranks among the top five worst in the United States when it comes to child and senior food insecurity. If you live within our area (Maricopa & Pinal Counties) and meet the eligibility financial requirements, we can give you a variety of food options thanks to weekly donations from our large local grocers, the USDA Federal TEFAP – The Emergency Food Assistance Program – and donations from individuals, businesses, churches, and events.

What Can You Expect?

Donated items may vary, but we strive to give each family member in your home a minimum of 25 pounds of food. A cart of groceries once a month for a family of four typically weighs about 100 pounds and includes non-perishables, fresh produce, bread, and other items – enough for approximately 12 meals for the household.

Unlike state assistance programs that stop once your income tops 135% of the federal poverty level, we can help households at or below 185%.

Requirements – What We Need from You

To be able to help you, we require these items:

Valid ID

We will need to see your ID, and a copy or photo of IDs for any adult(s) residing in the home over the age of 18. We also need the names and birth dates of all minor children who are receiving food (if applicable).

Proof of Residency
(is required if ID is not issued by Arizona)

Acceptable examples are:

  1. CURRENT electric, TV/internet, trash, water bill or rent receipt with the following information: Your name, address, name of landlord and their phone number.
  2. Recent mail from DES, State of Arizona, DMV, or other federal government entity confirming address and sent through the U.S. Postal Service in the last 30 days.
  3. Other identification forms could be a voter registration or a military ID.

Proof of residency is not required to participate in the TEFAP or CSFP programs. However, proof of residency may be required for participation in other Superstition Community Food Bank distributions, depending on program guidelines and funding requirements.
