The Community Food Bank’s mission is to change lives in the communities we serve by feeding the hungry today, and building a healthy, hunger-free tomorrow. CFB serves over 200,000 individuals in five counties of southern Arizona. Hunger and poverty are very complex problems that CFB aims to address through its hunger relief programs.
