Paradise Valley Emergency Food Bank

Paradise Valley Emergency Food Bank is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization established in 1986 that provides emergency food assistance to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity within the Paradise Valley Unified School District boundaries in northeast Phoenix. The organization operates independently without governmental or religious funding, relying entirely on community donations and volunteer support to distribute nutritionally balanced food boxes and essential non-food items. In addition to direct food distribution, the food bank runs community programs including the Palomino Neighborhood Outreach Program and the Weekend Food4Kids Backpack Program, which provides meals to Title I school students.
