Glendale Elementary School District Food Distributions
Tuesdays and Wednesdays

Every month, Glendale Elementary School District hold food distributions where they hand out 350+ food boxes to the community. The need for food boxes has increased steadily along with the need for volunteer support to get food to families effectively. There are two opportunities to help with each distribution; one day would be the packing of the food boxes and the following day would be handling the boxes out to the community. Below are the dates for the food distributions. 10-15 volunteers are needed for each volunteer opportunity. To register, please complete the

Throughout his life, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. advocated for peace, unity, and service. He was committed to creating change in his community and so are the many volunteers here in Glendale. MLK Day of Service is an annual to the life of Dr. King and also a way to donate vitamin-rich citrus to families in need. In partnership with HandsOn Greater Phoenix and St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance, we are looking for over 200 volunteers to help glean fruit. Along with the fresh fruit donation, this project helps to beautify a Glendale landmark, keeping this community perfect for living working and playing!
Citrus Collection! To increase our impact, our Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service will be a site for the community to drop off their excess citrus from their property and donate it to the St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance. Please bring your freshly picked citrus (all varieties) to Sahuaro Ranch Park or Manistee Ranch Park on Saturday, January 18, 2025, between 9am and 12pm. We will have volunteers ready to accept your donations.
