Safeway and Albertsons join SVdP's Feeding Our Neighbors Together effort to feed Arizonans in need
This March, St. Vincent de Paul is proud to partner with Albertsons and Safeway, Arizona's Family (3TV and CBS 5) and iHeart radio to fight hunger through its statewide food drive, Feeding Our Neighbors Together, helping ensure families across Arizona have reliable access to food.
The need for food assistance across Arizona has seen a shocking increase:
- Over 1 million people in Arizona face food insecurity. According to Feeding America, 1 in 7 adults occasionally or constantly lack access to enough food, and 1 in 5 children experience hunger.
- Demand continues to rise. Since 2020, visits to Arizona food banks have increased by more than 33% — growing from 450,000 people per month to more than 600,000 today.
Throughout the month of March, supporters can:
- Donate at the PIN pad when checking out at your local Safeway and Albertsons grocery store
- Donate nonperishable goods: SVdP donation boxes can be found at all Safeway and Albertsons locations.
- Donate online by visiting: HELPAZ.ORG

- Preparing and serving 5,000 hot meals every day through its four charity dining rooms, shelters, and more than 30 community partners

More about Feeding Our Neighbors Together:
St. Vincent de Paul launched its statewide food drive, Feeding Our Neighbors Together, in October 2025 with the goal to raise $2.5 million more and collect 500,000 pounds of additional food to help fight hunger across Arizona. Achieving this goal will allow SVdP to deliver an additional 120,000 food boxes annually, on top of the 189,000 food boxes it already provides each year.
SVdP believes hunger is a challenge that can be solved through collective action. The organization invites the community to join this effort alongside community partners.
