AZCEND

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

ince 1966, we've been helping vulnerable populations meet life's most pressing needs. People struggling with hunger, poverty and homelessness count on us for a lifeline of essential resources. Last year, nearly one million pounds of food was distributed at AZCEND providing more than 820,000 meals. Yet food is just the beginning.

We help neighbors in need discover what's possible so that they experience a brighter future than they may have imagined.
