PHOENIX — The City of Phoenix announced on Thursday that it has launched a citywide food drive to help offset the temporary suspension of federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for families and individuals.
The city is partnering with the St. Mary’s Food Bank to launch the citywide Food Drive so residents have access to nutritious meals.
“When crisis strikes, Phoenix comes together to help,” Mayor Katie Gallego said. “During this unprecedented emergency, I urge everyone who can help to step up. Donate food, send money, give your time to help your neighbors who have temporarily lost their lifeline.”
