Welcome!
Since 1984, the Association of Arizona Food Banks has served its
five regional food bank members along with their network of nearly 1,600 food pantries and agencies. As one of the first state associations in the nation and an inaugural partner state association of
Feeding America, AAFB is active in federal and state public policy advocacy, and hunger-related outreach and education. We also operate the
Arizona Statewide Gleaning Project, a trucking and logistics arm that brings millions of pounds of food each year to Arizona's food banks.
