The Agua Fria Food & Clothing Bank has been faithfully serving the people of the southwest valley for the past 26 years. Their mission, as a faith based non-profit organization, is to provide hope to our Southwest Valley neighbors who are hungry or facing crisis, through quality programs that meet fundamental needs. AFFCB has one location in Avondale, that offers a variety of programs and services, some shared, some unique. Monthly they offer emergency food boxes and access to their clothing bank, as well as provide food boxes for seniors and infants. They also have a shower on-site that is open daily, and they offer hygiene products and daily lunches for individuals. Twice a month at an off-site location they offer a mobile pantry to anyone in need of additional food assistance. Each year, AFFCB partners with other local agencies and churches to collect and distribute school supplies and uniforms (Backpacks & More) in July, Thanksgiving meals in November, and Christmas food and gifts (Toys & More) in December. All their programs and services are only contingent on need and residency. Individuals seeking assistance at the Avondale location must have proof of residence in a neighboring city (Avondale, Goodyear, Buckeye, Tolleson, Cashion, or Litchfield Park).
The Agua Fria Food & Clothing Bank is a community supported organization. They rely heavily on in-kind and monetary donations, as well as grants. They are also an approved AZ charitable tax credit organization. Their day-to-day operations are possible only through the thousands of generous hours served by volunteers.
