The ongoing federal government shutdown is creating growing uncertainty for Arizona’s families and students.
Last Thursday, the Department of Economic Security (DES) notified families that SNAP benefits, which support over 347,000 Arizona children, will be halted starting Saturday.

Arizona Food Pantry Map: Find Food Now - AZ Food Help

Food Bucks Now: Find Locations - Double Up Arizona
