United Food Bank collaborates with more than 150 partner agencies to distribute food to hungry people in the greater East Valley and Eastern Arizona. By providing much-needed food, our partner agencies can focus on serving their clients.

Partner agencies may include but are not limited to, emergency food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, homes for the mentally disabled, and domestic violence shelters. A partner agency must have its own 501c3 designation from the IRS or operate under the sponsorship of another 501c3 designated organization.
