  • Neighbors and Businesses Feeding Neighbors, Every Day

    We'd like to highlight businesses feeding neighbors, what they do in our community, and why they find it meaningful.

  • A Year of Impact, Advocacy & Hope

    While the statistics in the FFFC 2025 Impact Report are important, the real story is that behind every number is a neighbor who found help.

  • Racing to Feed Our Neighbors: ‘Cooler Runnings’ Returns

    Join us February 6, 2026 as 32 local businesses compete in this unique bobsled race put on by Canyon Coolers at the Flagstaff Snow Park.

  • 35 Years of Neighbors Feeding Neighbors

    Christmas Day 1991 was the first meal that launched Flagstaff Family Food Center, and this year we are celebrating 35 years of serving northern Arizona.

  • Hope Is Powerful — and Right Now, It Goes Twice as Far

    Our work begins with a simple belief: everyone deserves access to nutritious food and to be treated with dignity. Every day, we see how fragile stability can be.

  • A Record-Breaking Event & A Special Award

    It has been an extraordinary couple of weeks for FFFC, featuring a record-breaking Thanksgiving event and an honor for our volunteer engagement efforts from Governor Katie Hobbs.
