First Visit or Picking up a food box for someone else?
If you have never received an Emergency Food Box (EFB) before, or you are picking up an EFB for someone other than yourself, you will need to bring a completed EFB form with you. Please complete and print the form prior to coming to the Flagstaff Family Food Center, and bring it with you to your first visit. If you are picking up for someone else, be sure your name is listed under “Proxy” next to the signature. If you are unable to print the form, you may complete it at the time of your visit. Questions? Call us at 928-526-2211.

Neighbors Feeding Neighbors,
Every Day
The Flagstaff Family Food Center gives hope to local families by providing hunger relief and working to increase food security in the community.
We rescue food from local sources, coordinate incredible volunteers to prepare, serve, and distribute food, and maintain a safe community gathering place for sharing meals.
Through our various food programs, we provide thousands of meals daily throughout northern Arizona. When you give to the Flagstaff Family Food Center, your contributions stay local as we work together to feed our neighbors in need.

USPS Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive
In partnership with the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) and USPS, we are hosting our annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive! As the nation’s largest single-day food collection event, this initiative has been instrumental in combating hunger across the United States.
You will receive a postcard (similar as the image on the right) and bag in the mail with instructions and the materials to place on your doorstep to donate. You may use your own bag or additional bags to donate!
How You Can Help:
-
Date: Saturday, May 10, 2025
-
What to Do: Place a bag of non-perishable food items next to your mailbox before your regular mail delivery.
-
Who Collects: Your local letter carrier will pick up the donations and ensure they are delivered to Flagstaff Family Food Center.
All contributions remain within your community, directly supporting local families in need. This annual drive is especially crucial as food banks often experience shortages in the spring months.

Neighborhood Distributions
Despite growing numbers of people served at our Kitchen and Food Bank, we know there are still thousands of vulnerable individuals, families, children, and seniors who are unable to reach us due to lack of transportation, physical or mental disability, or long-term debilitating illness. To reach more people in need we expanded our Neighborhood Distributions.
Our Neighborhood distribution program increases access to healthy food by removing transportation barriers for those who are in need. We currently distribute food at 9 locations in and around Flagstaff. Please click the button below to find a full list of locations, dates, and times for all our free food programs!
