Wow! Today is the kickoff for Rafi’s Hope “Summer of Service”, a 12-week long effort to volunteer with a different nonprofit each week - and they decided to start with US at St. Mary's Food Bank! Thank you so much, Rich Yado and friends at Rafi Law Firm — Injury Lawyers!

Thank you to the gracious Justin Hayward Music for signing one of the nicest guitars we have ever auctioned – a 2011 60th anniversary Fender Telecaster – before Wednesday’s show @thecelebrityphx. St. Mary’s will be able to distribute enough food for 32,500 meals thanks to his generosity, which included a personal note to the winner describing his personal connection to this guitar over the years. Thank you as always to @DZPresents, who have helped us provide over 160,000 meals in just the past two weeks with Tesla, Todd Rundgren, Joe Jackson, and Justin Hayward all signing guitars for the World’s First Food Bank. Keep your eye out for the next auction, coming soon! #JustinHayward #CelebrityTheatre #StMarysFoodBank #CharityEvent

So proud to share that St. Mary's Food Bank was voted BEST PLACE TO VOLUNTEER in Phoenix Magazine’s “Best of the Valley” for 2024.

THANK YOU to everyone who helps us and everyone who voted. We are so proud of this award! #BestoftheValley #PhoenixMagazine #Volunteer #StMarysFoodBank #Community

It was a historic day at our Surprise Neighborhood Food Center on June 25 when St. Mary's Food Bank welcomed friends and neighbors for a ribbon-cutting of our new Neighbor Choice Pantry. Now, our neighbors in need have a choice! They can elect to receive a pre-made grocery cart of food, OR, select the items of their choice, assisted by a volunteer in a mini-grocery store setup. Special thanks to our great friends from Sprouts Farmers Market for helping us create a small grocery produce section, Surprise Mayor Skip Hall, Councilmember Alyson "Aly" Cline and all of our friends and supporters who came out to mark this great next step to help our neighbors in need. #StMarysFoodBank #NeighborChoicePantry #SproutsFarmersMarket #SurpriseMayor #FoodAssistance #CommunitySupport #Arizona

Great to have a group from HelloFresh including Sustainability and Social Impact Manager, Kelsey Frandsen, in the house yesterday to help distribute food and Hello Fresh meals to more than 1,000 families at our Phoenix Neighborhood Food Center. Through its “Meals with Meaning” program, Hello Fresh has provided more than one million meals to St. Mary’s Food Bank over the past two years and more than six million pounds since partnering with the World’s First Food Bank in 2021. Thank you Hello Fresh for helping to close the summer hunger gap for families in Arizona. #HelloFresh #Sustainability #SocialImpact #MealsWithMeaning #StMarysFoodBank #Arizona

This year, Oregano's Pizza Bistro has been an incredible supporter of our Tribal Food Box initiative. They’ve truly outdone themselves by packing 1,190 Tribal Food Boxes and raising $7,017 through sales of “The Cannoli.” 🎉 The Tribal Food Boxes aim to provide high-quality, shelf-stable products deeply rooted in cultural significance and sourced from Indigenous producers. These boxes are delivered monthly to 3,000 individuals from five different tribes in Arizona, containing essentials such as pouched proteins, canned tomatoes, corn and squash, popcorn, beans, and rice, along with a rotating selection between flour, fry bread mix, and cornmeal. Oregano’s, your Recipe to Giving Back is helping us fight hunger. They’ve truly outdone themselves! #CommunitySupport #Oreganos #StMarysFoodBank

Thanks to Arizona Milk Producers, Fry's Food and Drug Stores, and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. of the Arizona Diamondbacks for helping raise milk donations this summer at his autograph signing event in downtown Phoenix. The D-Backs are heating up with the temperatures, and these milk donations couldn’t come at a better time for the food bank with kids home for the summer. Milk is one of the most difficult and sought-after donations for food banks, so we thank Lourdes and the D-Backs for helping us fill that void! #FrysFoodStores #ArizonaDiamondbacks #MilkDonations #ArizonaMilk #StMarysFoodBank
