Northwest Food Bank

ICS assists individuals and families with food, emergency financial assistance for housing, utilities, and other living necessities, along with short-term case management.

Many individuals and families in Pima County need extra help accessing food. ICS supports them through a permanent Food Bank at 2820 W. Ina Road and a Mobile Food Bank that travels to multiple locations each week, bringing nutritious food directly to the community.

WHAT WE DISTRIBUTE
ICS partners with the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona to distribute food allotments containing Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) items and additional supplemental food to registered users. We are also grateful for the support of faith communities, community organizations, and individual donors whose ongoing contributions help keep our food bank stocked and expand the assistance available to families in need.

ICS Food Banks also stock a small supply of personal hygiene items and provides emergency food bags for unhoused individuals or households in need of food.

WHERE WE GET OUR FOOD

ICS Food Banks serve as Southern Arizona’s second-largest source of emergency food. Community food drives, donations, and grocery rescue sustain our efforts to provide nutritious food for households experiencing hardship. Through volume purchasing with area suppliers, ICS maximizes every contribution to serve more families.
