The Arizona location of Midwest Food Bank opened in 2017. About 30 nonprofit agency partners received food at the first distribution. Today, nearly 280 agency partners receive food from MFB Arizona.


Food is distributed from our warehouse and a satellite distribution in Tucson. As the demand from agency partners increases, we continue to look for ways to provide food for all.


Come to MFB Arizona to volunteer. Our volunteers are the life-blood of our organization - one of our key strengths. For individuals, families or small groups, you can browse the list of opportunities below.
