Since 1984, the Arizona Food Bank Network has served five regional food bank members and a network of nearly 1,000 food pantries and agencies. As one of the first state food bank associations in the nation, we were instrumental in the development of a statewide transportation project. Through our advocacy efforts, we work to secure the safety net for our member food banks and the people they serve in Arizona. AzFBN develops food resources, promotes nutrition, advocates for public policy changes to help hungry people, fosters cooperation among food banks, networks with government, local, state and national leaders dedicated to ending hunger, and engages all sectors of society in hunger awareness and sensitivity.
