When you are struggling to put food on the table, the last thing you want is to arrive at a distribution center and be turned away because you're missing a document.
📋 The "Ready to Go" Checklist
Before you head to the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona or a local pantry, ensure you have these 5 items:
- Photo ID: A valid Arizona Driver’s License, State ID, or Passport.
- Proof of Residency: A utility bill (TEP/Southwest Gas) or a lease agreement from the last 30 days.
- Household Member Info: Names and birthdates for everyone living in your home.
- Income Self-Declaration: Most Tucson food banks don't require pay stubs, but you will need to know your total household monthly income.
- Your Own Bags/Boxes: Many locations are low on supplies; bringing your own ensures you can transport your groceries easily.
