In support of Hunger Action Month this September—a month to spread the word and take action against hunger—Arizona Boardwalk has joined forces with United Food Bank to help replenish their shelves and help feed families in need, especially during these uncertain times with many families adversely affected by the pandemic. United Food Bank is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has been providing hunger relief to people in need in the East Valley and eastern Arizona for more than 35 years.

In 2019, United Food Bank distributed almost 24 million pounds of food providing nearly 19.5 million meals to our neighbors in need. In response to the economic impact of COVID 19, the food bank projects it will distribute nearly 25 million pounds of food (30 million meals) this year.
