Hope for Hunger

Together,

we can turn hunger into hope

Hunger looks a lot like you and me.

It knows no age, race, or gender. But it is fundamentally tied to poverty — and poverty is rampant in Arizona. Hope for Hunger Food Bank is an outreach of Phoenix Rescue Mission dedicated to addressing both hunger and poverty.

How to receive assistance:

We’re open Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to Noon (first-come first-serve, local walk-ins welcome with proof of address)
We’re located at 5605 N. 55th Avenue, Glendale, AZ 85301

To receive assistance, we require an ID and proof of residence (typically a utility bill or other piece of mail with your address)

Each household is allowed 2 visits per month and must have at least three days in between visits

“I came here for food for me and my family, but I was also three days away from losing my home. We were missing meals and facing the streets. The Mission not only gave us food, they led us to help that allowed me to keep my home. Now I know the Lord guided me here, and He changed my life. I just want to thank Phoenix Rescue Mission so much.”
