United Food Bank Hosts Annual Christmas Food Distribution
By Claire Natale - Thursday Dec 14, 2023
On Dec. 20, United Food Bank will support Arizona families with its annual Christmas food distribution that returns to the Mesa Convention Center from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (or until supplies run out.) This seasonal event makes warm, tasty meals accessible to thousands of friends and neighbors in Arizona experiencing food insecurity.

This distribution will provide residents in the East Valley will all items needed to prepare a Christmas meal for their families. There will be a variety of nutritious holiday food items including hams, produce boxes and other food items for a traditional holiday meal.

The Christmas food distribution will be conducted as a drive-thru where individuals can fill their empty vehicle trunk with meals for themselves and family members. Walk-up service is available to those without vehicles, and volunteers will be available on-site to assist in pick-up and distribution.

“This distribution is a chance for us to reach out into the community every year and make a difference in people's lives, especially in the spirit of giving during the holiday festivities that come this time of year,” said Jason Reed, CEO of United Food Bank. “Everyone deserves a warm, healthy and delicious meal to enjoy during the holidays. When we connect with those who are struggling to achieve that, this distribution gives them one less thing to worry about.”

With living costs and grocery prices continuing to rise, people are increasingly seeking food assistance for the first time. United Food Bank is diligently working to fill these needs and ensure that individuals and families have the food they need for the approaching holiday season.

United Food Bank is also accepting contributions to help support this initiative and uplift the community. To make a donation to United Food Bank’s Christmas food distribution, please visit http://www.wefeedaz.org/.
