Struggle with Hunger
Yavapai Food Neighbors is an innovative, new way to
fight hunger in our community.
You want to help.
We make it easy.
How It Works
& the Pick-Up Dates…
EVERY 2 MONTHS—on the second Saturday of every even month—our Neighborhood Coordinators pick up bags of healthy nonperishable food that neighbors have left outside their front doors. They leave empty green bags for next time, and take all the food to local Food Providers. It’s that easy!
