Food (and Goods) Drive
Now Every THIRD Saturday of the month!
Please note: Food Drive is now every THIRD Saturday of the month!
Over 500,000 Arizonans have lost their jobs since the pandemic hit in March 2020, and Saint Barnabas is helping our fellow Children of God who are in need. We coordinate a monthly food drive and YOU can help!
- When? The Third Saturday of every month.
- How? Drive-through donations at Saint Barnabas from 8am – 10am, in the main parking lot off Mockingbird Lane. Put your donations in your trunk at home. When it’s your turn, stay in the driver’s seat, unlock or open your trunk, and we will remove your donations for you. See the video below for our helpful guide to keeping everyone safe.
- Who? EVERYONE is invited to donate! We are hoping to see a long line of cars in our parking lot as a symbol of God’s love. The food you donate will go to the following food banks that all have Episcopal roots:
• Saint Luke’s at the Mountain, South Phoenix
• Matthew’s Crossing, Chandler
• St. Mark’s Food Pantry, Mesa

Introducing Bags of Love (Click here to learn more)
All are invited to an intergenerational activity during the September, October, and November Food Drives. Food Drive Ministry, in partnership with Bags of Love, will have an assortment of opportunities for mission work for all ages. This is an opportunity to write gratitude cards and fill small bags with a variety of items that will be given to the New Leaf organization which oversees a variety of shelters in Arizona. ALL AGES are encouraged to come and help! Donuts and beverages for all who come and serve.
