Our hearts go out to the San Carlos community as they face the devastation of this wildfire. We're deeply saddened by the impact on so many families, with homes lost and lives uprooted. United Food Bank is working alongside Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, Red Cross of Arizona, and our local agency partner Abiding Ministries to ensure everyone has the resources they need. We're committed to providing food, water, and emergency supplies to those affected. Together, we can help our neighbors through this crisis. 💔❤️ https://bit.ly/3W47O5O

On Friday, we joined Representative David Cook and our friends at the Arizona Food Bank Network for a monthly distribution event with Gila Community Food Bank at the Walmart in Claypool, near Globe. Representative Cook, along with our President and CEO Jason Reed, our staff members, and other volunteers, handed out food to our rural neighbors in need. Thanks to Representative Cook's efforts in securing state funding in 2023, Gila Community Food Bank (GCFB) has achieved incredible improvements this year. Following the distribution event, we had the opportunity to visit GCFB and see their newly renovated building, which now includes: 🚐 A larger van to transport more food 🚧 A newly paved driveway 🏠 New windows ❄️ New freezers These upgrades are vital in helping GCFB reach more families in need. We're deeply grateful for Representative Cook's continued support and dedication to fighting hunger in our community. Together, we're making a significant impact! 💪🍽️ #UnitedFoodBank #GilaCommunityFoodBank #ArizonaFoodBankNetwork #FightingHunger #CommunitySupport #GlobeAZ
