Feeding the Hungry

Feeding the Hungry

Salvation Army units across the Southwest provide emergency food boxes, congregate meals, holiday meals, and home-delivered meals to our hungry neighbors.

The Salvation Army Roswell Corps Community Center in Roswell, New Mexico, operates an impressive emergency food bank of nearly 22,000 square feet.
- The food bank averages a monthly emergency distribution of nearly 4,000 food boxes per month, in part via a collaboration with the state of New Mexico and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, led by the Army.
- The Corps also delivers meals to area homeless three times per week.
Salvation Army Corps Community Centers in Hobbs, New Mexico, and Chandler and Prescott, Arizona, offer “client choice” food pantries, designed to help people develop healthier food decisions and better resource-management skills. In a safe, sanitized, and socially-distanced setting, the pantries give shoppers the dignity of choosing foods they like, rather than getting a prepackaged food box with items they may not use or know how to prepare.
In Sierra Vista, Arizona, The Salvation Army partners with the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona for contactless, drive-thru food box distributions four times a month and brings food, pet food, clothing, books, and more to the Palominos area monthly, aiding almost 70 families in a very rural community where many do not have transportation to get to services.
The Salvation Army Owens Campus in Las Vegas serves nearly 600 meals daily, and throughout Clark County and beyond, The Salvation Army Southern Nevada provided nearly 46,000 food boxes to neighbors in need in 2022.
In Sierra Vista, Arizona, The Salvation Army partners with the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona for contactless, drive-thru food box distributions four times a month and brings food, pet food, clothing, books, and more to the Palominos area monthly, aiding almost 70 families in a very rural community where many do not have transportation to get to services.
The Salvation Army Sierra Vista also offers an immensely popular kids culinary arts program that teaches youngsters how to make healthy, nutritional meals on their own, which helps them continue those good habits to be successful physically, socially, academically, and emotionally.
The Salvation Army Mesa Citadel collaborates with United Food Bank on its Grocery Store Food Rescue Program, gathering unexpired food untouched on local grocery stores shelves that might otherwise be thrown away.
Salad & Go has donated ingredients for tens of thousands of salads to The Salvation Army Metro Phoenix since 2020 – salads that are prepared and delivered to hungry neighbors by Salvation Army Corps Community Centers and volunteers.
Tens of thousands of holiday meals are served annually to hungry people and families across the Southwest Division.
