MARICOPA PANTRY

Maricopa Pantry continues in our goal to feed those who need it in Maricopa, Arizona and its surrounding communities. We are uniquely positioned to serve city folks, mini-ranches, rural communities, senior communities, and the homeless – all who reside within minutes of our food distributions. The number of families looking for food has continued to rise. At present we are feeding 2000 families or more every single week.
We are still in the process of completing our permanent warehouse so that our food is stored safely and economically. It will also allow us to move our distribution line indoors, so our volunteers are out of the weather and dust. Next comes the second phase, a community center for these rural and semi-rural communities. With it we can offer health care services, free legal advice, therapeutic services, and more to communities who do not have access to such help.
Maricopa Pantry works with an all-volunteer staff and is strongly backed by our communities. Our motto is ‘a hand up, not a handout’ and we strive to live it. Many who receive help from us turn around and volunteer with us, so as to help their neighbors as well. In this way we reach neighbors who we might not otherwise know about; the homeless, homebound, veterans, the aged, the infirm, and those in shelter homes.
Through volunteers that deliver, we are even helping families in small towns farther away who have no access to help.
If you are looking for a worthy cause that touches a vast array of people, Maricopa Pantry is a perfect choice. We are a federally recognized 501C3 organization with no paid staff. As such, you can be sure that your dollars are all going exactly to the cause you support; into food distributed to whoever needs it, and into safe storage facilities for that food, and into needed services to help build healthy and independant familes.
