Agency Partner

I recently had the opportunity to visit with the CEO and tour the Valley of the Sun School and Habilitation Center here in Phoenix. They’ve been an agency partner with the Food Bank since early 2005, drawing food from our agency food selection area and taking it back for use at their main facility as well as at the group homes they have scattered throughout the community. This partnership enables the Valley program to save approximately $32,000 a year in food purchases. The money they saved by using donated food can then be directed into their agency programs because they were able to secure the food from the Food Bank. This is one of many stories of our agency partners being able to focus their funding on their core programs and not having to use it for buying food for their clients.
