At AZCEND, we help people struggling with hunger, poverty and homelessness. Last year, more than 14,000 food boxes were distributed providing over 800,000 meals. And food is just the beginning.

More than a meal
We help neighbors in need discover what’s possible so that they experience a brighter future than they may have ever imagined.
- Safe, emergency shelter gives people experiencing homelessness the stability they need to get back on their feet
- Rent and utilities assistance keeps people in their homes
- Early childhood literacy prepares little ones to succeed in Kindergarten and in life
- Parenting classes equip parents to better support their children
- Meals, friends and activities for Seniors combat loneliness and isolation.

Our mission
We change lives by nourishing minds and bodies to create a connected, thriving community.
