Our food bank is one of the nations oldest food banks and is Chandlers largest basic needs service provider. The Food Bank provides emergency and supplemental food boxes to those in need. Food boxes are tailored to family size and special dietary needs (E. G. children and those experiencing homelessness). We partner with many community organizations to provide the food needed. (E. G. grocery stores, restaurants, food drives, civic organizations and in kind donations.)

The organization operates the local senior center for the Town of Gilbert and the senior meals program in the City of Chandler . The senior centers in both Chandler and Gilbert provide hot meals and activities to people who are frail, elderly, disabled and homebound. Both centers offer a variety of activities, workshops, classes, referrals, medical programs, transportation and volunteers opportunities. Both centers offer companionship, intellectual stimulation and the ability to retain independence. In addition, they serve home delivered meals and wellness checks through the Home Delivered Meal program.
