Marana Community Food Bank

The Marana Resource Center says with school ending and kids being home for the summer, they could really use peanut butter and jelly donations.

“Summer is the most vulnerable time for families facing food insecurity as they rely heavily on free school meals to keep their kids fed during the school day.  We are working hard to help families get food when they need it.  Community support makes these options possible.”

Donated food can be placed in the wooden cabinet located in the Narthex.  Please remember that the food bank cannot accept any food items that has been opened/used or expired.  Also, please, no glass  containers.  If you prefer to make cash donations, they are always welcome, and can be mailed to Marana Food Bank, 11134 West Grier Road, Marana, AZ 85653.          

Every $1 helps provide 4 meals.
