Our food bank is one of the nations oldest food banks and is Chandlers largest basic needs service provider. The Food Bank provides emergency and supplemental food boxes to those in need. Food boxes are tailored to family size and special dietary needs (E. G. children and those experiencing homelessness). We partner with many community organizations to provide the food needed. (E. G. grocery stores, restaurants, food drives, civic organizations and in kind donations.)

Neighborhood Assistance Services (NAS) provides emergency financial assistance to families including utility assistance, eviction prevention and benefits connection and referrals for shelter/housing, food and clothing. NAS also provides case management including goal planning, job training, employment and education referrals, financial education, free tax preparation and electronic filing, referrals to other services and programs, as well as follow up and ongoing support.

The Senior Centers provide hours of camaraderie, intellectual stimulation, and nutritious meals to the frail, elderly, and disabled in the Chandler and Gilbert communities. In addition to serving a hot meal, both centers offer an array of activities, outings, workshops, classes, medical programs, transportation, referrals, and volunteer opportunities. The Organization also delivers meals and provides wellness checks to the elderly and disabled. The organization operates the local senior center for the Town of Gilbert and the senior meals program in the City of Chandler.
