Community Food Drive – Sunday, November 16th

As many of you know, SNAP benefits expired on November 1st, leaving many families in our area struggling to put food on the table. Matthew’s Crossing Food Bank is working hard to meet the growing need—and now is our chance to help.

The LD10 Democrats, in partnership with LD13 Democrats and the Sun Lakes Democratic Club, are organizing an additional emergency food donation drive—and we’re calling on our Ukrainian community to step up in solidarity.

As Ukrainians, we’ve received so much support from our neighbors and friends here in Arizona. This is a powerful moment to give back—to show our gratitude and stand with others in need.

Please consider donating shelf-stable food items to help children, families, and seniors in our community.

Date: Sunday, November 16th

Time: 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Drop-off: Four convenient locations (see flyer or event details)

Let’s come together with compassion and purpose. Every donation makes a difference.
