The Marana Food Bank & Community Resource Center is back in action, ready to serve up some much-needed support and solidarity to our local community.

In October 2023, the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona announced some changes in store for the Marana location, all in response to the shifting needs of the area. Fast forward to December, and those doors swung open again, thanks to a partnership with the Sahuarita Food Bank.

Earlier this week, they held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to welcome the new management. The goal from here on out is to eventually operate on its own, similar to the Sahuarita Food Bank.
