St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance serves 13 of Arizona's 15 counties. On September 1, 2005, the Alliance was created with the merging of two major food banks, St. Mary’s Food Bank and Westside Food Bank.
The merger allowed the new Food Bank to have a deeper reach into the community, getting more food to more people. Together, the two food banks distributed more than 51 million pounds of food during Fiscal Year 2006 - 2007.
The Food Bank is committed to providing food to Arizonans in need through more than 500 partner agencies throughout the state. These agencies serve a wide range of clients, the majority of those being families with children and seniors.
The community can support the Food Bank in a variety of ways, donating time, money or food. Contributions are used efficiently and wisely; every dollar donated provides enough for seven meals. And, of each dollar, 96 cents goes directly towards programs.
Volunteers donated more than 250,000 hours of their time last year so the food banks could distribute enough food for 200,000 meals every day.
St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance has a trained, professional staff to provide the best service to our agencies and the community. The senior management leads by example with their expertise and knowledge.
