The mission is to relieve hunger, increase self-reliance and improve the quality of life for children and families throughout southwestern Arizona. Founded in 1978 by a group of dedicated volunteers, the Yuma Community Food Bank focused on the need to feed hungry children within Yuma County. Twenty-Six years later, YCFB continues to create and enhance emergency and supplemental food programs that have an educational and a nutritional component geared to the youngest of our community.
