LOCAL IMPACT
Nutrition Programs
We advance nutrition and wellness to create healthy communities across Arizona.
Here in Arizona, Advance Community brings its global mission to life close to home, empowering underserved Latino families across Maricopa County to live healthier, more hopeful lives through culturally responsive programs, including health education, nutritious meals, and healthy food boxes.
Food insecurity affects approximately 1 in 10 adults and 1 in 7 children in Arizona. Helping our community address this core issue is a significant focus of our Nutrition Programs.

Our Stove to Table program delivers more than meals—it delivers dignity, health, and connection.
Nourishing Seniors, Empowering Independence
Each week, we provide over 450 fresh, homemade meals to low-income seniors living in housing communities across Maricopa County. These meals are thoughtfully prepared by our Nutrition Program team, utilizing locally sourced, seasonal ingredients to ensure both quality and nutritional value.
With the support of over 500 dedicated volunteers annually, we deliver wholesome food directly from our kitchen to the doorsteps of those who need it most, helping seniors live healthier, more independent lives.
Our menu changes weekly, offering a diverse range of delicious, nutrient-rich meals. Every dish is clearly labeled with ingredients, empowering seniors to make informed choices that support their well-being.
Stove to Table is more than a meal—it’s a lifeline.
Live Well. Eat Well.

Every month, our Nutrition Boxes program delivers hope and health to families in need across Maricopa County.
Fresh Food, Real Impact
We hand-pack and distribute thoughtfully curated food boxes, each filled with fresh, whole, and nutritious ingredients designed to support well-being and food security.
Each box contains essential staples, including bread, eggs, butter, plant-based milk, grains, legumes, spices, fruits, and vegetables, enough to nourish a family of four for two to three days. But these boxes offer more than just ingredients—they offer empowerment. Every box includes a list of ingredients and simple, family-friendly recipes, helping recipients turn what they receive into delicious, nourishing meals with ease and confidence.
Our dedicated staff and volunteers carefully select and pack each box with intention and care, ensuring that every item contributes to a balanced, healthy diet. Distributions take place weekly throughout the month, providing families with consistent access to wholesome food, not just once, but on a regular basis.
