Food Bank Donations

Cuts to programs like SNAP have increased the strain on local food banks—more need, fewer resources.

In response, Aldea is launching an ongoing food drive to support Northwest Tucson food banks.

Starting November 2025, Aldea will collect food and household items. Our first partner will be Impact of Southern Arizona, and we’ll rotate among nearby food banks over time.

In the lobby, you’ll find a list of most-needed items and a sign-up sheet if you’d like to join the team.

In Aldea’s office space - marked “Food Bank Donations” - you will find our collection bin.
