Serve Our City Food Drive

Sunday March 3 | Before, during, and after services | Parking Lot

This spring, we’re offering a way for you to share hope with families in need across our Valley. Pick up a list of needed food and other items at your campus on February 18 and then drop off donated items by no later than March 3 to be given out by our food bank partners.

• Extended Hands Food Bank – Located near SBC Fountain Hills, this food bank serves Fountain Hills, Scottsdale, Rio Verde, and Fort McDowell Reservation. Volunteers prepare hundreds of food boxes which serve more than 300 families per month. These boxes contain items most families need to make great meals, and they can also pick up  bread, dairy, and meat donated from local grocery stores.
• Foothills Food Bank – This food bank near SBC North Ridge serves the foothills area north of the loop 101 including Cave Creek, Carefree, New River, and Black Canyon City. In 2022, they had more than 19,000 visits to their community pantries, which is a 50% increase from the year prior. Each week, 18 food baskets are delivered to homebound seniors in partnership with Foothills Caring Corps, and more than 15,000 meals are distributed to students through the weekend snack pack program.
• PV Community Food Bank – This food bank near SBC Cactus provides food assistance to people living within the 98 sq. mile boundaries of the Paradise Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) who are experiencing food insecurities. The food bank’s Weekend Food4Kids Program provides healthy, easy weekend meals for more than 750 students attending PVUSD Title 1 schools each week of the school year.
• Harvest Compassion Center – This local food and clothing bank near the Shea campus enables individuals and families to shop for their desired food items, hygiene products, baby items, and clothing free of charge. It is set up like a mini-mart and clothing boutique, and volunteers assist guests in shopping for needed items. Groups can also stock food and hygiene items, sort clothing, bag socks, make hygiene bags for the homeless guests, iron, clean, etc. In 2023, HCC served 16,618 families and they are on target to exceed that this year. They distributed 587,000 pounds of food, hygiene, and baby items last year, and again, they expect to exceed that number this year!

Thank you for helping to bring the joy and hope of Jesus to kids and families in our city. If you have questions, please contact localoutreach@scottsdalebible.com or call 480.824.7200
