WHAT WE DISTRIBUTE ICS partners with the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona to distribute food allotments containing Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) items to registered users.
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
The ICS Food Banks are the second largest provider of emergency food in Southern Arizona. We are dependent upon community food drives, donations, and grocery rescue to help keep the shelves stocked and to offer a selection of healthy foods to households in hardship. Volume purchasing arrangements with area food suppliers enables ICS to multiply every dollar donated many times over.
