IMPACT of Southern Arizona Food Drive

Tohono Chul is teaming up with IMPACT of Southern Arizona to bring food and other necessities to Arizonans in need. Our Stop & Go Drive-Thru makes donating convenient and quick. Follow signs at the park entrance to the Drop Off tent. Tohono Chul Volunteers will remove your donations from your car seat, or you can just pop open your trunk. You don’t even need to get out of the car. It’s that easy!

Food banks accept dry and canned food donations as well as personal hygiene and cleaning products. What does that mean? Basically, any food that is “shelf-stable” or nonperishable – you can keep it in your pantry and it won’t go bad. And remember, only donate food that hasn’t reached its “sell-by” date yet.

Specifically, food banks often need items like:

• Peanut butter
• Canned soup
• Canned fruit
• Canned vegetables
• Canned stew
• Canned fish
• Canned beans
• Canned proteins
• Coffee & Tea
• Breakfast items
• Snack foods such as granola bars, raisins, fruit cups, applesauce, etc.
• Flour
• Sugar
• Cake & Muffin Mixes
• Cereal & Oatmeal
• Juices (Apple, Tomoto, Cranberry, etc.)
• Broth
• Pasta (most prefer whole grain)
• Rice (most prefer brown rice)
• Condiments such as ketchup, mustard, salad dressing, etc.
• Baby formula and canned baby food
• Cooking essentials such as spices and cooking oil
• Toiletries & Personal Hygiene Items
• Cleaning Supplies
• Laundry Detergent
