Feeding Mesa: Food Box Distribution

FOOD BOX DISTRIBUTION

Volunteers and Mesa Convention Center staff distribute food boxes to waiting cars at a food box distribution event.

CONVENTION CENTER OR FOOD DISTRIBUTION WAREHOUSE?

In the face of unprecedented need, the Mesa Convention Center was quickly repurposed into a food distribution warehouse and the parking lot transformed into a no contact drive-through center for food boxes. This program supports and increases the efforts already being provided by food banks, volunteers, and other nonprofits.

WHAT’S IN A BOX?

Shelf-stable grocery items are supplemented with fresh dairy, produce, meat, juice, and more.
