Our Roots
In 1975, the advocacy organization Food Action Coalition of Tucson became the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, founded by Barry Corey and Mark Homan. More than 45 years later, we have grown from one facility in Tucson to eight locations serving five counties of Southern Arizona. True to our advocacy roots, we have become a national leader in the food security and food justice movements.
Our Work
Our programs include emergency food assistance and free meals, as well as a farmers’ market, community gardens, nutrition education, culinary training, support for local growers and food systems, advocacy, and more. We partner with over 350 organizations to serve five counties of Southern Arizona—over 23,000 square miles. We’re a proud member of Feeding America, a nationwide network of food banks and hunger relief organizations. In 2018, we were named Food Bank of the Year by Feeding America.
